Re: Double Entendres

Re: GPDR

Hi

The link is https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/re ... ssessment/

I have just been checking with the ICO who believe this is for the existing regs and that to see if registration is needed suggest phoning 0303 123 1113 and selecting the option for registration.

Re: GPDR

I went on to the gov website for it and there was a questionnaire to see if you needed to sign up to it. It was quite straightforward to follow. Give that a try

Re: printers capable of printing onto mount board

If my memory serves, the Epson R3880 has the ability to take media up to 1.5 mm with separate feeds so bypasses the rollers.

Re: Wessex framing course

Hi Ed, I did the course last year. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and learnt a lot. The pace is good, you get to use the professional equipment (handy if deciding what to buy) and have access to superb tuition. As David said, you walk away with a complete framed item at the end of the week. I would...

Re: morso teething problems

Before lifting the pedal, with the blades still in the down / cutting position, move the blade positioning handle back a notch or two so the blades move back away from the moulding then raise the foot pedal.
