The Framers Forum

Welcome to the forum Alan, you have given sound advice for anyone starting out. Are you intending to give up the day job and go into framing full time? Just noticed that interesting comment from Ardfinnan Crafts from the previous post regarding the guillotine for cutting the backing board. A have al...

With the recent features which have been added, EstLite seems to have become a bit resource hungry, so to be on the safe side you should probably have 128-256Mb of system memory if you intend running other applications concurrently. Not a problem for any modern computer, but some older machines migh...

Hi Ormond,

Long time no see...

Ever since my ISP implemented their spam killing software my junk has been reduced from hundreds a day down to under ten.

What's this I hear about an Oz forum?

We use MailWasher which will optionally bounce messages on the blacklist directly from the server - they never get downloaded to your machine. Of the remaining messages, initially only the header is downloaded to the viewing area where you can decide whether to bounce, delete, keep, etc. This progra...

It's actually a lot easier than it sounds - it's just the the way I explain it :D You must start with your image somewhere on the net at a known address, say http://www.mysite/myimages/mypic.jpg What I was trying to say is that you type in the address of your image when you are posting. eg.(before) ...

Hi worriedwizard, I'm not sure that I completely understand your question, but perhaps the following will be of help. The price of glass etc is based on a direct ratio to the figures you enter for the 40 x 50 size. So that 80 x 50 would yield a price twice that of 40 x 50, as the square area of the ...

Having used low voltage lighting for years in the gallery, I'm not sure if we should go for the same again when we get our new premises. The fittings we had, started to fall apart after 4-5 years and we were constantly replacing them. I'm not sure whether this is normal or just poor quality. I would...

It seems like half of us are called John on this forum, but this one would not be offended. In fact, I do the odd bit of posting on the US Grumble myself from time to time, you are always sure of a helpful response to just about any query. I also do not envy you this job Stephen. Given its history s...

Hi Ross

The Arti_Tec Hanging System appears to be a Dutch product.

Their website is at

http://www.arti-tec.nl/main.asp?lang=en

But this site did not work too well when I visited, perhaps you have to enable cookies?[/url]

Due to the fire which has destroyed the entire North Street Arcade shopping centre, Scenes has ceased trading. We regret that EstLite's telephone support may be a little below standard for a time. However if anyone wishes to contact us please do not hesitate to E-mail. I would like to thank all who ...

Every version from 6.11 now has basic moulding stock control.

Thanks for the info.

Though I could only find on-line application forms for US, Canadian, and Australian membership, it looks like they have a number of overseas members from many other countries. Are you going to boost the Irish contingent Dermot?

Hi John Welcome to the forum. Since John W started this thread we have had a rigorous review of our own pricing strategy. This has resulted in a price increase of around 25%. So far no one has raised an eyebrow at any of the new prices. That is apart form ourselves. Sometimes I have had to suppress ...

Version 6.11

Basic moulding stock control and inventory.

When upgrading from a previous version, mouldings which are marked as out of stock in your moulding table will be given a length of 0 (zero). All other moulding lengths will be left blank.

Wouldn't it be great if the forum could realise its potential as a useful resourse for the FATG, framers, and everyone associated with the business? But, maybe there is a downside that I just cannot see. Is there a reason why any element within the picture framing world might feel threatened by the ...

Looks like this is the place to sell then.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for getting back to us and filling us in with the latest, it is very much appreciated.

ImagesLen Having little experience with chop, I'm not sure that I understand your question. Do chop suppliers increment their charges in full metre steps? (ie rounding up to the next full metre when calculating price) That would seem to be a bit coarse, and would probably warrant a tweak in the prog...

Hi Campbell,

There bust have been some kind of error when uploading estsetup.exe to the site.

I have just re-uploaded and it now checks out ok.

Many thanks for letting me know about this problem.

Version 6.10 Price lists are now imported using the CSV (comma delimited) file format. The simple file structure consists of Name followed by Price, separated by a comma. The files can be created in a text editor such as Notepad, or a spreadsheet, like Excel. Perhaps moulding suppliers will eventua...
