Just had a look and its the exact one on my wall,

Arqadia 278 127 358

Im sure its an Arqadia moulding,
I have one on very very similar if not the same on my wall in the shop,
if no one comes up with the number before tomorrow morning i will get it for you.

If your printer can print onto mount board yes its possible,
or you could just print onto paper then bond the print to mount board,
you would get a better finish, I have done that a few times,
then put that in the mount cutter and cut the mount.

I would have thought, show a picture of the matt design you want cutting and ask if anyone is willing to cut them and at what price.

Unfortunalty all mine goes in the massive bin shared by 4 businesses, and provided by my landlord, cost us £3each a week. Gets emptied every week.

Softened the biscuit in his tea first, the tea adds an extra colour to the fresh made filler.

I use the turn and pin method, as i use the underpinner from the back and have the frame on a table in front of the underpinner, much easier and faster than the pin 2 halves, then pin the 2 halves together, I get interrupted pinning all the time and it doesn't cause a problem. Each to their own.

It will arrive, Banggood sell everything and are a massive company, the question is what quality will it be when it arrives ?.

I Do quite a lot of these, I will only do them if they are stuck down using pressure sensitive adhesive in the jet mounter.

One thing to watch for is, depending upon how much the paper is crinkled and how big the print is, you may not be able to totally flatten the paper and may end up with a crease or bubble. Its worse on bad crinkled large prints, on a small print you maybe ok.

Hot Press Double Sided Mount Film (M3174) PMDS41082 1040mm wide, and a 43" wide Jet Mounter to apply the pressure.

The card is a 2mm thick laminated for extra strength, and it has a very smooth flat surface making it ideal for mounting too, the card came from wessex.

Hi i have just done one exactly the same, 100x89cm thermally printed so hot press is a no go, I bonded it to 2mm laminated mount card and then framed with 3mm perspex, looks stunning in an oak frame, customer is more than happy, so much so i have about another 15 to do for them. All new prints which...

CanvasChris, what card stock are you using for the cards ?.

mho, what make and model of UPS do you use? I have one of these on the CMC and computer http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/sweex-pp230-intelligent-ups-2000va-n91nf Make sure it will take the max current your computer and CMC require, I have a small desktop computer and 22" monitor along with the CMC on...

I run the CMC and computer off a UPS nice clean electric, you can even carry on the cut even if the power goes out on those rare occasions, saves the job and more importantly the CMC and computer. For me the price of a good UPS out weights the price of new computer or CMC electronics, by a long shot.

IFGL, is it a limited edition or an original ?.

Hi, I have a workshop which is 5.5m x 3.6m x 2.4m High, if its laid out right it can work very well, i have my moulding along the walls, which i have to admit isnt ideal, but can work. also in the workshop i have morso, cassese 199 underpinner, keencut 5000, wizard 8000cmc, worktable with mountboard...

It certainly isn't what Focus used to be, as said above its mainly aimed at the amateur, with company's selling items at a slight discount over the 4 days, its more of a lets see what i can get cheap mentality, the old focus was defiantly much more geared towards the Pro market, that's why I attende...
