btw. I once saw a computerised washline-drawing machine, much along the same principles. It even did the wash by drawing 1000's of close lines. It was amazing to watch. It would use one pen and then drop it and pick up another colour/width. I don't know whether these machines are still made. Mind y...

This way the c...

Does Size Matter?
I'm in the process of deciding whether to put Pre View in the shop and was wondering what size screens existing users show customers the visulisations on?
Thanks in advance

Spraying Gesso?
I was wondering if there is a product akin to gesso that could be sprayed?
We currently have a spray booth for painted finishes on wood but I'm interested in applying gesso in a more uniform and hopefully faster manner.
Any help would be gratefully recieved

When I frame these cards I use glass both sides and have a mount with square cut aperture and find that the cards need no sticking- and stay put! If your viewing both sides anything you use to stick will be seen. I've never used perspex, but reckon this would give too much. In the dim and distant pa...

Although the show has changed I reckon its still worth visting .The benefits of it being smaller and less crowded mean Its now possible to get round it easly in a day, even with a 300 mile round trip. As I no longer order prints from these shows, I get plenty of time to look round the machinery and ...

I've got a 1998 Valiani Cuttermatec Special with end trimmer and full instuction manual. A great machine which takes a standard size board and is far faster at cutting mounts than a conventional mount cutter. Its just sat in the corner gathering dust for about the last 6 years since we had a CMC ins...
