The Framers Forum

Does anyone recognise this moulding. I have a customer looking for something similar, and can't find it in any of my catalogues.

Thanks guys, good idea. Slightly more expensive than a sheet of mountboard, but probably worth it to save any grief.

So eBay, an other purchase!

I've been asked to frame a crest and the backing board has to be in the right Liverpool FC colours.

Any framers who support Liverpool (I know, I'm sorry, but I have to ask) tell me what mountboard to use. (I use Daler, Arqadia and Britmount boards at the moment).

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the feedback. I've tried bags in the past, and they are never seem to be the right size.

I will order some 3M tape and give that a try.

Hi, up till now I've just used Lions Clear Wrapping Film held together with tape for wrapping my mounted prints. This works fine, but does not look very professional. I can't figure out what the best type of machine is for a low volume gallery type situation, and would appreciate some advice on what...

Thanks Ricky, I did not get a manual with it (bought on eBay), and I had not got round to looking on the web. Might not need an upgrade now!

I know this is slightly off this topic, but its similar. I have a Keencut Artist Plus, which is great for normal jobs, but hopeless for multi apertures, are there are no markings on the cutter to line up with the guide lines. I was thinking about an upgrade to the mountcutter, and can't afford a CMC...

I am pleased with the number of replies to my first post. Generated an interesting little debate. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Just to confirm, it is the glass that is the subject, and that it is to be lit from within the box. The customer has now confirmed that a simple pine box as original...

Hi, I use mostly Permajet papers for my images, and in particular Omega works very well as a matt paper, and gives good deep colours. Also profiles are available for download to suit most printers. Morco are about the cheapest suppliers I've found.

Thanks for the help and ideas. I will need to get back to the customer to check on the finish required, so not sure at this stage about nail holes etc, but I like the idea of using a hard wood for the box, might even be able to get it cut to the L shape needed?

Hi, I have been asked to frame a piece of "Art Glass" 800x200 in a box frame about 100mm deep to allow for lighting to be installed to show of the glass. The only thing is the customer does not want the usual frame to overhang the box, as it would cause a hazard in the hospital where it is...
