The Framers Forum

That's a shame, but not really a surprise.

So who will be exhibiting on the framing side, if any?

Got mine from a company that are now called BOHLE.

I had a phone call from Ricky at Mainline mouldings this morning, he told me that they are in the process of producing the kind of software that we are looking for and it will be launched in the not too distant future. I think initially for their own mouldings and mountboard then hopefully it will a...

Thanks for the replies so far. I know what you mean about the difference between monitor displays, also agree about getting a good image isn't easy, I have tried. But there are quite a few decent sites out there that appear to be doing good business, and as much as I would like to rely on shop trade...

Does anyone know of a good software for use on a website where customers can view frame and mount choices, that change with the sizes an colours they input and also that they can upload their own images to get an idea of the finished article. The sort of thing that is on this website; http://www.efr...

We have the 199mxl which we bought when it was first introduced 4 or 5 years ago and we are having exactly the same isuues with it. We replaced quite a few parts as you have. I had a word with Mark Griffiths ( framing engineer ) last week about it, he had just come back from france a nd Cassese are ...

Try studio 51 in Rawtenstall, I think they might do it.

Try Frinton, I think 2401 off the top of my head.

You probably already know this but, One side is a right hand thread and the other side is a left hand thread.

Depends on the thickness you are trying to cut but assuming it is 1.2mm or 2mm thick, you just need to score it with a normal stanley blade and then snap it along the edge of your bench.

See if these are any good for you, we bought our slatwall from them.

We have just opened a second shop, but this one is dedicated purely to framing with a small gallery (first one is a gift shop as well), we have also moved the workshop for all the framing into the new premises. Quite a few local artists and photographers have enquired if we would display and sell th...

Thanks again for the responses, we will get the customer back in I think and give them the options available as you have suggested.

I was away last week when the new Valiani software training day was on. Did any of you attend and if so are you getting to grips with it OK?

Thanks for the replies up to now guys. Anything that involved tape on the back was a definite no from the customer. Which led me to the possible mylar solution, but as Robo says that or the ribbon corners isn't a good idea I'm a little unsure what to do.

Can anybody advise on framing old title deeds,they have been folded like a map and measure 28 x 24 inches, customer wants mountboard underneath leaving edges of deeds showing and then double mount surrounding them. My problem is they dont want any tape at all on the back so we can't use s hinges or ...

Hi Matt,

I have just sent you a PM if you haven't already got fixed up.

Cheers.

We use the micro one for some jobs but the fine fabric gun also sold by Lion for shirts, we get the t tags from a company called Morplan. We use 7mm and 11mm try www.morplan.com I think they call them t end nylon attachments, they also sell the guns.

We have used the flat rate scheme for the last few years, but we are also a gift shop and we combine it with the framing. The gift shop is turning over slightly more than the framing so as that is the dominant one we use the category 'retail not listed elsewhere' . The percentage has just risen to 7...

Sorry prospero forgot to mention the heating is not portable gas, we have gas central heating but no radiators anywhere near the boards, only one radiator on the first floor and that's in a different room.
