Hi,

I have been using it for months. It's pretty fast, easy to use, crashes every now and again.

I like it.

Liam

Just to say thank you for the replies.

Hi,

Has any one bought a GUNNAR F1 Hybrid yet? Am interested to know what you think to it.

Thanks Liam

We charge normal frame price, plus £70 for mounting the shirt, ie hand stitch to foam board cut to size.

Think this one was circa £220




But if people would like the cheap option, no mounts and up to the glass, could be as little as £99, but as John says, doing things properly £70 is way too low.

Hi.

Spoke to Nielsen before xmas and just got their catalogues, I will check out the 'exclusive' range.

We carry 90% of LJ mouldings and I really do like them a lot.

Thanks or the Enrique Lopez link I will take a look. And I will check out Byron too.

Thanks Liam

Hi.

Bar Frinton (Excellent IMHO) and private view, do you know of any suppliers of high end/niche mouldings based in the UK?

They don't have to be swept/traditional, just interested in finding more unusual mouldings they the main few distributors have

THanks Liam

I was surprised g &m dont sell it.

Hi,

I am trying to source a piece of VA Grade Perspex size of around 270x93cm

b) Any tips on where to source it?

Many Thanks Liam

Hi,

I have mine set up to be able to price to the various fine art guild standards, and 20 characters is too few to describe exactly what level is being sold.

If you can stretch to a few extra characters in a future release it would help us out

Thanks Liam

Hi John, Hope you are well.

Please see the attached image, and the highlighted fields, in particuar the mount field, is there any chance of making this field longer in the next update of estlite? Its just that some of our descriptions for mounting are longer than shows on screen.

Thanks Liam

Thanks for the fast answer!

Revealing my ignorance, but what is p70?

Can I just ask, when you guys were quoting, were you including dry mounting? Also, if not, how would you be attaching the photos?

I thought so too. I stuck thier logo on our current a5 flyer.
May help a bit.

Hi,

Apart from Simons and Arqadia, do you know of any UK importers of ready made frames, ie mass produced swept/decorative frames.

Thanks Liam
