The Framers Forum

That looks really interesting John. I think I might have a play with that. It won't come in time for this quote unfortunately. Something for future framing though. I have finally found some companies that can do foil blocking, yippee! I have one quote that seems reasonable and more to come. Here I m...

Many thanks all for your replies. This really is an excellent resource! I have had a quote for the logo to be printed. Euro,6.79 each under 50 and 5.75 over 50 !!! After putting a few feelers out, I have a reasonable quote for vinyl stickers. I am also looking into foil blocking. It's just trying to...

I hadn't thought of that !!!

There is always a snag!

Some sort of spacing will be required then. Any suggestions for a easy solution?!

This just gets better and better, ha ha ha

Many thanks,

Sandra.

Many thanks Robo and prospero,

It's at times like these that I wish I had a cmc! Or cheap postage!

I like the idea of a second aperture however with just me and Fletcher we could be some time !!!

I have put out some feelers re transfers, will let you kowthe outcome.

Thanks again.

I have a client interested in up to 200 frames, great!!! Snag is they would like their logo printed onto the mount. I unfortunately don't have the facilities to do this, and printing here is very expensive. I am thinking stickers or even better transfers. Would this work? Can anybody recommend where...

Hi,

I am in the Netherlands and use Wybenga. You could try them. Know they also deliver to Belgium.

Good luck.

Sandra.

Many thanks as always for replies.

As suspected there is no magic supplier of silver frames!

Customer still making decision, silver plate or have me make and attach a plaque!

Thanks again,

Sandra.

Hello all,

I have had a customer asking for a silver plated frame, which needs to be engraved. Approximate size is 10 x 25 cm. The only other details I have is,it is needed for 3 photos.
Anbody have any idea where I can source silver frames?
Many thanks,

Sandra.

Hello custard,

I have been thinking about doing this. It always seems the colour you want either isn't available or is in the wrong frame etc etc.

What sort of paint are you using? Any info would be great.

Many thanks.

Sandra.

That looks fantastic.

I have a cap to frame and haven't ever done it before! How have you attached it? Have you put mount or foam board inside to keep the shape?

Remember, it takes a college degree to fly a plane but only a high school diploma to fix one, but never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humour.  After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a 'Gripe Sheet' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.  The mec...

me!

I have missed several bits unfortunately. Will the seminars be on youtube?

Many Thanks for this, its excellent.

As always very helpful.

Dear all, The cutting head of my Fletcher is rocking on the right side, not the bevelled side. I can't fine an Allen key to fit it, have tried both metric and imperial. Anyone know what size I need? The machine is less than a year old. I am finding keeping it calibrated difficult. What am I doing wr...

Have you tried contacting Cassese direct?
They were very helpful when i had a problem earlier in the year.

Hi Merlin,

No, not 1m square now wish they could count!

They now want something very different! A tree design was mentioned. I have ideas and with so few photos it shouldnt be a problem and maybe quite good fun.

Thanks again for all your help.

Sandra

Original enquiry from a local business was, we have 50 photos and 50 comments that need to be framed for an anniversary gift. No problem says I! Let me have the photos etc and i will put a couple of designs together. Today I eventually receive the photos and comments, 6 photos and 8 comments!!!!!!!!...

Help! I have a large order of posters that i am quoting for. Unfortunately they need to have plexi. They are 84cm x 60 cm. I have contacted a supplier that has said over 80 x 60cm they recommend 3mm, which is double the price. I have never used plexi before and so have no idea how it flexes compared...

DUH ! Another blonde moment! The reason I am having a nightmare with non flexi points is because i am using a fletcher flexi master!!!!!!! Need to buy another gun for the rigid points! At least it wasnt user error this time. I have found out from a reliable source that flexi points should only be us...

Hi Mike,

Forgive the stupid question, why are we not supposed to use flexi points? What should we be using instead?

A supplier i have here was horrified when i told him i used Flexi points and sent me some non flexi points! I cant get the damned things into the frame!!!!!!!!

Many Thanks,

Sandra
