good source for chipboard for cutting/printing

I have been using primarily Lettra for printing. Ive found as many others have that I need to pad the top clamp of my C&P 26” manual cutter and also have something underneath the stack to get decent cuts. For the moment ive been using scraps of craps of coke boxes. While it works well im about out of boxes and its time consuming to cut the boxes up. Ive read a lot of people saying chipboard dules the knife quickly which I would rather not due but if it is a necessary evil so be it to get clean cuts. Is there a source for “clean” chipboard? I see ULINE sells chipboard in good sizes that I would be able to cut without any needed processing of the chip. I also want to do some printing on chipboard but would the ULINE stuff be up to the task? It looks to be pretty flat and I think I may want a little more texture to the chipboard maybe like real thick craft paper. So in short im looking for a good chipboard to use for cutting and/or one for printing.

I have purchased chipboard from Uline and find it just fine for the uses I make of it.

Yup, that’s what I use as well for guillotine padding.

Uline chipboard is what we use in the offset/digital printing company I work for.
