Re: Display area - what to include?
Morning, sorry for the delayed reply. You are right JKX, I am unable to have retail sales so everything will be for display and inspiration only. I have been collecting random things to frame - medals, jewellery, Wales rugby shirt etc. Yes, that is the kind of thing I was thinking, to show what they...

Re: Display area - what to include?
Thank you. Vintage - I have a fake pot plant called Cyril- does that count? 😆 It’s interesting about the sports shirts. I get regular enquiries via email but they rarely come back when I ask them to pop in and see me. I thought an example might be a way to continue the conversation - but they are no...

Display area - what to include?
I have a little 'showroom', with most of my chevrons on a spinner and some carpeted wall area to fill. I have temporarily hung some random pictures and the Tru Vuew glass demo frames, but I really want to make and display some different kinds of framing . Just to showcase what is possible and help c...

Re: FramR chop price settings
Thank you all, and JXK/Jo - both are really good options. I'm glad I'm not going mad. I was fixating on VAT settings. :oops: I will be having a play around to see what works best. Seeing yesterday's undermount post, I've realised I have never charged for those so I am reviewing all my pricing/overhe...

Re: FramR chop price settings
Ah, if it rounds up that makes sense, thanks! And that follows through to the other examples - 1.35 rounded to 1.5m, and 1.54m to 1.8m In which case though, can I get FramR to reflect that? Looking back at my invoices, I've been a few pounds out each time. That's before any mark-up which would cover...

Re: FramR chop price settings
I've just run a few random mouldings at different price points through and am getting the same. FramR inc Vat is (roughly) equivalent to LJ + VAT. Which on expensive mouldings is a fair bit! Unless I'm reading LJ too simply, and there is a surcharge beyond the £X/m chop price? These are just chop, n...

Re: FramR chop price settings
I've just tried a 300 x 300 on 526025167, also £6.00/m chop.
FramR gives me £9.73 inc Vat.
LJ calculator gives £9.00 + VAT.

Re: FramR chop price settings
Yes, their invoice. It is listed as £6.00 per meter (ex VAT) and their chop calculator gives me £7.80. The invoice adds VAT to £9.36. But FramR gives me £7.92 at £7.20/m including the VAT (based on 1.10 meters needed) I manually calculate 1.1m x £6.00 = £6.60. x 1.2 (VAT) = £7.92 so agree with FramR...

FramR chop price settings
I've been getting a lot of Larson Juhl chop recently but I've noticed my FramR calculations are not matching my purchases. Eg today: 217170548. Chop price £6.00/m+ VAT. LJ calculates £7.80 + VAT = £9.36 FramR lists it as £7.20/m (so including VAT), but calculates £7.92. I've checked my settings have...

Re: Pricing help
Sorry to jump in, but how do you calculate the undermount on the Hinging settings Justin? I have the default Hinging and it has this caveat message, but I've never worked it out. "This charge is for standard T hinges. It does not include the cost of the Undermount. Undermount can be selected fr...

Relief maps - which adhesive
I've got a relief map in which is going to go in a tray frame. I then decided to buy a map to frame as a present so I have a chance to practice first. Looking through the searches on here, and a current thread on the Grumble, it seems the easiest way is to stick down the edges. Can I just check thou...

Re: Double mount, coloured bevels
Yes, I use glue but I have always tended to spread it out evenly all over rather than beads or dots, which doesn't make it easy to reposition things, so that's helpful to know thanks.

Re: Double mount, coloured bevels
Ooh I like those but also ouch. I should look at other types of board. I played safe with masking, they needed a couple of coats to look uniform and I wasn't brave enough. Assembling them I tried both ways - marking on the back first, then eyeballing and 'micro-nudging' with a steel rule. Justintime...

Re: GDPR - Customer contact details and software.
Thank you, that's really helpful. I'll have to check if FramR is always offline, as it does need the internet to sync to the catalogues. I'm not sure if anything is stored on the server. Does that apply to my email/Messenger records? As although they are for my use only, they are stored somewhere on...

GDPR - Customer contact details and software.
My brain is going fuzzy.... I am in paperwork mode. Bleugh. Is anyone up for sharing - very, very basically - how you manage GDPR on this lovely sunny weekend? I complete GDPR training every year in my 'day job' so I am well aware of the general principals, how personal data is affected, my responsi...

Re: Energy contracts
I found a few brokers were being sneaky and using a local area code, so I would answer thinking it was a customer. I don't like those tactics.
