Hard Bed Press Wanted

[Framerpicture]

A photographer friend of mine is looking for a Hard Bed Press - An Ademco 2226 would be perfect or something of the like- He lives in Somerset and is prepared to travel resonable distance to pick it up.

Thanks

I would call Pete at Framers Equipment in Northampton - 01604 790333 or 07980 660240. He usually has one or two floating around & usually in A1 condition @ decent prices. No one actually manufactures hardbeds anymore - so second hand it will need to be - but there are always plenty around.

If your photgrapher friend needs support for his machine I can post him educational & sample materials - if required...

Thanks Steve - What sort of price would you expect to pay?

Saw one on here the other day for £200.00- That would be fine but was in Scotland and would cost more in fuel to get it!

While I've got your attention, we have had a problem dry mounting some hand printed photos on a fuji paper. We're getting quite bad orange peel effect using a vacume press- any ideas why?

Happy Christmas

£200 sounds like a real bargain from Gesso. The one in Scotland went almost instantly.

Re the prolem with the orange peel - there are several ways to improve the results - I am guessing they were "glossy" prints??? It would probably be faster to give me a buzz on 07714 523780 - so I can ask you all the questions & then we can come to the right method for improvement.
