Re: Effecting the value of a print

Here's a useful article I read many years ago by Norm Boris, which I found quite insightful about the manufacturing process of Alpha Cellulose matboards. It was written in 1993 (pre-zeolites). It's interesting to know that the perception of certain matboards being "totally pure and natural"...

Interesting discussion - "Water-based alkaline adhesive" From what I can gather all that means is that it is an adhesive made from materials that are soluble in water. Just want to touch on a thought, to avoid any readers possibly getting confused..... I'm not an industrial chemist, but I ...

Re: Printing On Mountboard

Have a look at this web page -

http://www.epson.co.uk/Graphic-Arts/Fine-Arts/Printing

Anything from an Epson 7880 upwards, will print on matboard.

Relevant article from DECOR magazine in the US, here too:

Re: Welcome to the CMC users forum.

Hey, good idea! I commend this decision.

Actually, "PLT format" is not easy to work with for Gunnar - preferrably CDR or CMX to retain the true tangential curves for smoother cut results..... but it will work itself out, I'm sure.

All the best,

Jared

Re: Printer Choice

Epson is the benchmark by a thousand miles. There must be a reason for this, and you need to find out why, for yourself. I suggested you clean the slate, and do your research again, from scratch. But this time - do it "face to face" with real humans, and get real physical demos, look at re...

Re: Computer drawn lines on mounts

5 years ago there was not a CMC that could be easily converted to draw lines/shapes on a mount. Hmm... what about Zund? They've had this "pen holding" feature available for the 10+ years I can remember? I would be interested to know the difference between Zund's pen attachment feature and...
