Re: for sale Keencut Ultimat mountcutter

Not easy to sell second hand, even in good condition on this forum. Most here will already have a mount cutter.
Try E bay , or a forum for photographers, or amateur painters who want to cut their own mounts :idea:
Good luck

Lovely staff made me most welcome.

Re: Custom Sized Cardboard Corners

If not available off the shelf why not ask a local framer with a CMC to make the exact size you need.
And why not at the same time get them to print something on one side that will enhance the finished job - your company name & logo
