Re: Computerised Mountcutter Advice

We have a Valiani Mount Cutter with a Vacuum bed and it is great will cut Jumbo with cut shapes etc, but it about how much you use if for these things, there are different heads etc, cutting boxes, scoring card and all sorts you can do. TGS sometime have used models and are worth asking.

Re: Any way to hang an unframed canvas board?

Re: A problem piece/home...

This is not entirely unusual I would suggest to the customer to lift if off the wall if possible, even though this may not stop the problem it may help.
