The Framers Forum

I have been lucky in the past in finding a brushed metallic card that I successfully printed on in my inkjet printer.

You download the app on your phone or notebook / iPad and you are off. iZettle each transaction will cot 1.75% and Sum up 1.69%. It may be that your money arrives in the bank a wee bit sooner with iZettle than S...

I am sure Sumup and the like have their limitations, but for a small start up they are fine and only when you get to do more transactions do you perhaps look elsewhere.

Hi Bagpus

i use Sum up on an odd occasion, no real complaints. For between £20 to £30 it's a no brainer, its not a great deal to loose if you fall out of love with it.

Thank you Andrew I really appreciate your comments about my work.

Hi Jon

V strips?

Never done a pastel before and as a result I've proper messed up. Customer chose the frame moulding, I never checked the rebate and went ahead and built the frame.

PEP have a roll for £19.00 plus the Vodka And Tonic and that is 75 microns.

Lion do a roll for £28.00 which I think is 95 Microns.
