The Framers Forum

I'm going to experiment with the couple of suggestions given and see which works best for me.

Thanks for your help

Its not multi aperture its approx 30 bits of paper/card which have been cut to irregular shapes out of letters/cards. These are to be floated on to mount card with a small space between and then the board there fixed on will have a mount. I would normally float these with a hidden T hinge from p7-70...

A customer has asked me to frame a selection of thank you notes. All on various quality of papers from card to thin, almost translucent, copy paper. They are to be arranged and floated on a mount card with a mount to hold them away from the glass. It will then be framed with UV filter glass to stop ...

There really isn't anything thinner around unfortunately - but if the demand was there we could look into it for you. On a more positive note, if you warm the canvas back up again (by resting it on top of a warm press) it will stretch easier than if it is "stone cold". I'm not sure how ma...

Hi We print lots of canvas to be stretched and a varnish is often requested. Applying varnish by brush or spray is a pain and leads to a higher number of rejects than I'm happy with. We have been laminating the canvas's with a heat seal laminate which is very succesful but does make it that bit thic...

I have just used Cathodon for blade sharpening the first time and have to say its an absolutely fantastic service. I phoned Gordon on Friday, the blades were picked up on Monday and returned to me the following Friday and all for much less than Lion charge! Its a bit early to comment on the blades p...

There's a memebr of the forum who offers Morso blade sharpening ( in Scotland?) , I've tried searching but as you can imagine Morso and sharpening crop up a lot on this forum

Any clues would be gratefully recieved

Just wondered if anyone on the Forum has any plans to go to the, dare I say it, FATG dinner in Bristol this weekend?? I've always thought if the FATG spent as much time and effort on PR as they do on their awards evening then the genral public might have some idea who they are and what they stand f...

Although we use Tru View conservation and reflection control glass I have never used glass which gives little or no reflection

I'm aware Tru view do this, but was wondering which make any one else can reccommend-

thanks in advance

Many Thanks Phil

Could you let me have Cathandon address please- I've been using Lion and would like to try some one else.

I'm interested to hear what others think. [/quote]

I've not been to many French framers but I doubt they have carpets resembling a copy of Yellow Pages

A colograph is a sort of imprint of a collage, IOW a collage in relief. It's supposed to be lumpy.

I think a colograph can be printed either as intaglio or relief

I realise it could be the photography,but is the mount wider at the sides than the top and bottom?
It all looks slightly askew

Can you get icc profiles from Colourmount?

Is it possible to view these items before putting in a bid?

I agree with NYAF, however in this case it was a thread about misleading links - quite the rage if the media is to be believed I personally didn't find this link particulary offensive but then I'm not a women - You can easily see a lot risky images in the papers and on tv- but I do respect Aine's vi...

Sorry about the psi I'm afraid i was too lazy to check

But if its leaking from the main body of the I would have a word with your supplier as it sounds as if the gun arrived with a faulty seal.

What pressure are you running the compressor at?

most of these guns have a maximum psi of about 120(i think!)

If your running to high it could be causing a seal to fail.

Airtools latest... I :!: One problem I can't suss out a solution to is that the Tabmaster 4 is hissing. I've got PTFE tape around the male quick-release adapter, and the female quick release coupler on the air line doesn't hiss when connected to the Omer stapler. I'd really appreciate some advice o...
