Different mount types in one framing job

Post by Rabbie Side Burns »

Hi there,

I am looking at the trial version of Estlite with a view to buying. We have a number of different mount board types that we use in combinations in a single job. For example, 3500micron, 2400micron, blackcore, Alphacore, SolidCore etc which are all different prices. I can see the option for multiple mounts of the same type being used on one framing job, but how would you handle pricing a double or triple mount using different types of board for each layer?

Sorry if the answer is elsewhere in the forum - I did look, but couldn't see anything on the first few pages.

Many thanks

Rob

One possible solution would be to set up items in your Mount Type list for the combinations that you use, pricing each combination as a single item.
