The Framers Forum

Hi, Can't be specific with date I found a picture of the nearest model here image of prisma ce . Mine differs in that there is no catch bin underneath as I use a box and the extraction is centrally placed. In addition I have fitted two brand new supports for mouldings to each end with primsa measuri...

Hi Dermot,
All the items are 240 volt including the saw. Hope this helps.

but no production stops

Sorry should read manual production stops. Sensible offers around £4-5k still accepted.

Due to a dramatic change in personal circumstances I have to reluctantly offer for sale my beloved framing equipment. It is with heavy heart that I am offering the following items: Brevetti cross cut mitre saw with two end supports and measuring scale. The supports and scale are almost new the machi...

My main business is stretched canvas prints. I can tell you that hand stretching is quicker and easier. Not to decry the quality of the product but after many hours of alignment, slippage and a lot of sweat I placed it in the skip. The item is more suited to stretching blank artists canvas. If you g...

bed_map.jpg Hi Y'all, I live 6 miles from Arlesley in the sprout and onion capital (capitol) of the world - Biggleswade. I have never done needlework framing so I don't guess I can help unless some kind individual can show me?? On a side note I have over 500,000 fonts - now which one to choose. SPR...

Hi Shaggydog, I have the Prisma and I use the Charnwood 690/790 (about £140.00). It does everything I require (although a bit noisily). I would say that to capture all the dust a higher volume double bag extraction system is the way to go. Watch out for those bargains on EBay as many are 3 phase. Mi...

website appears to be down?!?

I read with sadness about the demise if one of the bastions of photographic supplies. They are auctioning off their stock here. Meanwhile their bankers have made £3 Billion profit. It's a funny old world.

Now sold for a bargain price!!!

Hi Juliet, I have some ideas. The Wizard has a debossing tool which can outline the logo which is fairly simple. Someone on this forum can help with that. You could print it as an embossed image (attached) and using a contour cutter cut out the logo and stick it on. Have it printed onto adhesive pap...

HI all, I no longer have my van so I cannot offer free delivery or set-up so the final price is £3,500 . At that price it's a bargain, especially as it's ready to run. :D The non reflective acrylic has now been disposed of but the mountboard is still available to practice on. There are about 500 pie...

The main problems with "compatible inks are: Head blockage Raised ink drying times Poor longevity and fade resistance Metamerisation and most importantly smaller colour gamut The pros are: cheaper price If you are not trying to match originals exactly and are wiling to take a chance on blocking...

I have had several enquiries and to clarify things I would like to add the following. The price is £4,000 not 5 as previously stated. It is a fixed head machine - How many times have you made a 90 degree cut? It comes with a computer running windows xp with valiani mat pro software and corel draw 12...

I have a Valiani Mat Pro cmc 120 computerised mountcutter for sale. It comes with an Airmate compressor and computer (loaded with software), 3 boxes of spare blade s and a whole stack of mountboard to practice on. Includes manuals and original software. Serviced and calibrated last week by Valiani e...

Speaking from personal experience at the beginning of my framing career. I would say two things: Keep them out of your workshop Don't give them cost breakdowns Artists see the trade cost of materials and think...I can get this done much cheaper. So they shop around to find some poor sucker who will ...
