Re: Beware This Company

Arqadia = Conservation By Design.

Arqadia brought out Conservation By Design a year or so ago. You will note their addresses are a stone's throw from each other

Re: Arqadia

But the middleman buy in hundreds of thousands of meters per order and receive massive discounts. These discounts are passed on to framer in order to make them more attractive. We were quoted from a company in Spain for 10000meters of moulding. The price was only a few pence per meter cheaper than t...

Re: Arqadia

Arqadia - By far the best for service and systems, not the cheapest on every product but no one is.
They buy from a number of sources, but you are unlikely to find out who. The reps don't even know.

Re: wide format printers

This sounds a dumb question, but could someone explain how a wide format printer fits commercially in the business of framing? What do you do with it and how much money do you make from it? We brought a Epson 9800 about 4 years ago when the Canvas epidemic took off. We made our money back in months...

Re: Arquadia mountboard help

Sorry - they wasn't a dig at Arqadia at all, as they are certainly the most organised moulding company around.
It is simply because their stocks levels are constantly changing, and sometimes they need to bring stock over from their other warehouse.

Arqadia's Out Of Stock usually means they have plenty available!
It usually sits in the bay as a backorder.

Re: Seeking advice on plastic glass

Not sure what arraglass is but we use stacks of 2mm clear extruded acrylic which is just as good as glass - crystal clear and scratch resistant. We have just got a Drytac vertical saw to cut it but previous to that we cut using the score blade on keencut system 5000 - make sure you use the BACK of a...
