I love this photo montage Robo, I pinched it from you a few years ago and it's on my website, chortle, chortle .. :lol: On a serious note, I got my GCF back in 2007, Steven McKee examined me ( as it were ) at D&J Simons in Hackney. I am pleased I did it if only so I can recognise some really poo...

Some ingenious suggestions, thanks everyone, I love Dave's bucket in a box idea

I've no idea why but about a year ago I sold my LION "Glass Safe" ( chuck your waste glass strips into it and smash it up with the plunger, very satisfying ) I get those small green crates delivered from Wessex now and put my glass strips in there, the only problem is that I end up placing...

THINK AGAIN, TAKE THE TRAIN :clap: Monday's trip to the Spring Fair was a joy as I took the train and arrived refreshed and ready for a good look round . It was great to see some of you up there, thanks to Tudor Rose (Jo ) and Trigger ( Alec) for letting me join them and Merlin(John Cooper) for lunc...

Looking forward to a nice day out at the Spring Fair on Monday, I'll be wearing my red Hotpress Lanyard, will you ?

Thanks for your thoughts everyone, I'll post a photo of it when I have it done

I've had this little car below for over a year and I keep saying I must get my Logo on the car, never did ... I do want to but would like some advice from anyone who has their car 'decorated', what are the key details to have on there, I don't want it too cluttered/fussy. I assume web address and ph...

Last year I said "never again" but I drove and was tired by the time I got there and was then looking at my watch thinking "I best be off soon ...."
If I do go I'll treat myself to a First Class ticket from Euston and do it in style

WOW ! What a response this thread got, I have only just logged in again, over 50 posts ??? love the suggestions and it got a bit heated as well, I think Old Master had his tongue firmly in his cheek with some of his comments, he certainly got a response :clap: When I have framed it I will post a pho...

Hi everyone, I've framed numerous posters over the years, some rare movie ones as well, I use Japanese hinges for these secured round the edges of Foamcore board, taped on the back. Strangely, I have never been presented with a Linen backed poster, well until last week, a customer of mine brought a ...

Sorry, now sold

A0 Size 8 Drawer Plan Chest - £250 Pickup nr J29, M25 In great condition, I need the space that's all, pickup only I'm afraid, the make is Orchard, the Hotpress is standing on it at the moment, there are 4 screw holes on the table surface but that's the only marks on it really. Any questions, just ...

A customer brought in 2 large photographic posters, one of Anthony Hopkins ( see below ) the other of Michael Caine, about A0 size, I drymounted them on 5mm Foamcore and they look good. They are not High Gloss photos, more of a matt affect really. I am going to use non-reflective glass on them but w...

SORRY TO WHOEVER JUST CALLED AND LEFT A MESSAGE, THIS HAS NOW SOLD

Were "chop" and "awaiting chop" already in there John ? I assumed that was me that input them, so I have reached my limit in the array then ? That would explain it.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Hi John, below is a snapshot of my drop down highlights. highlight_menu.jpg I went through the top 8 highlights "GLAZED" to "FINISHED", the only 2 that I cannot edit are "Chop" and "Awaiting chop order" at the bottom of the drop down. I'm not sure that helps y...

Hi John, this morning, I have updated to EstLite version 8.34 and am still getting this problem, the strange thing is I get the pop up to change the Highlight on certain colours but not on others. please see short video clip on Youtube, I hope that makes it clear. Is there a work around on this for ...

I've e-maild Hotpress to see if they can point me in the directions of someone with a large Jetmounter, it's not just me then that dreads these jobs ?! Thanks for your comments.Adam/Bagpuss

I have an old Canon Powershot which I used to have mounted on the ceiling and linked to my laptop and I could take photos of frames on the bench via the laptop, control zoom etc., is this the only sort of camera you can use with PreView ? ( I was going to test a copy soon ). I know you can get digit...
