Re: Massive Print Sale Clearance - Everything £1.00!!

If you can think it they probably have it.
We are now on our second batch of prints which are selling quite nicely plus they give an opportunity to upsell a mount and/or frame.

Re: Price for framing a rugby shirt in a box frame & best me

We have done quite a lot for various colleges and individuals around Durham.
We charge round about the £100-£120 mark depending on the size.

The last one we did was FOUR shirts in one frame which now hangs in Aviemore and was shirts for various teams around Scotland including Aberdeen University.

Re: Massive Print Sale Clearance - Everything £1.00!!

When we got ours the guys did ask if there was anything in particular that we wanted - we were happy to just let them choose and there was a good mixture. We decided not to go with the extra large prints, but even the "small" ones are about 30cm x 30cm. We are still sorting through them, p...

Re: Massive Print Sale Clearance - Everything £1.00!!

Apart from one or two which were slightly creased on a corner, the rest were fine. Even these will be ok after a couple of minutes in the Hotpress!! I wished we had lived nearer I would have loved to see what others they have.

Re: Massive Print Sale Clearance - Everything £1.00!!

We have just received 100 prints this morning - really good value.
The guys were great, really helpful, and prints arrived quickly and well packed.
We are just trying to decide if we should go for another 100 while they are still available.

Re: Thinking of changing many of my black mouldings to polym

We have gone through three boxes of Black Polcore since December, One 28mm & two 40mm. Sells easily, cuts easily and joins easily.

Re: Spring Fair

The wife and I had a pleasant day today (Sunday) at the Spring Fair. We travelled down last night and stayed in Tamworth which was only a 30 minute drive this morning. To be honest the framing section seemed identical to last years but still worth a visit, had a chat with Ian & Sam from Framer's...

Re: How to cut what I think is called an open V-groove?

You will only get overcuts if the stops are set too far ie: 18mm instead of 10mm!

Re: Wideformat printing supplies

We also have the Epson 7900, it's in use every day of the week printing canvas as well as traditional prints. On a lot of canvas jobs we print on Economy mode and I'll bet 99.9% of people will not notice any difference in the finished product. We get some of our paper from Plot it plus colourbyte wh...

Re: Polcore.

We also use quite a lot of Polcore and have also found lots of inconsistency in the depth's and widths which is a pita especially when cutting quite big frames. Another gripe is scratched and uncovered moulding which is totally useless but to be fair when I phone Mainline they credit us straight awa...
