Great to hear you will be at FFLive12 - really looking forward to see you guys at ths great show!!!

Hi Mark, I simply wouldn't mess with it - God knows what media it is on etc... Here's an idea though... Frame it like the "artist" exhibits it... Deep box frame - AR / UV glass - to protect & keep clarity - spacers for the sides to hold the glass of course - then add a couple of D ring...

It would be very simple to drymount it but this would devalue the art work, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think my opinion would be appropriate on this occasion

It's "wax on - wax off"

Glad it worked out so well & well done Simons on what is obviously a great product

Well Done Keencut - GREAT manufacturer!!!

Thanks David,

That's the chap & a fantastic job he did too - not only bringing it to the attention of framers - but working with the OS to get details put in with the maps - he deserves some kind of award in my opinion

TOP BLOKE!!!

Hi Adam, I am sorry for the late jump in on this one. First & very importantly - OS - as stated somewhere above - have recently changed their printing processes & their maps are no longer suitable for heat pressing. This was discovered by a framer (sorry if you are a forum member - but I can...

Hi Richard, Steve & James both offer sound advice. Re thicknes - both hot & cold - (the same base films are used & different adhesives are coated) Satin Matt - 50 micron - smooth silk finish - can show scuffs - not recommened for high traffic areas Full Matt - 75 micron - zero reflection...

WOW Ryan - it looks like an awesome piece of kit - green rollers for the Irish too!!!

Good on yer - happy rolling!!!

Hello Chris - I am the man that these guys are talking about - I guess you may have seen something in "Art Business Today" - under the "sexy new products" section - well as "sexy" as a hand wound laminator can be doh! :Slap: Please feel free to give me a buzz on 07714 5...

Thanks John - I had just spotted this & sent a pm - but just in case...

Well Done to Garry at Wessex

Sound advice & a 75p solution - now that is good customer service

NOPE!!! We got told - up here in the penines - "if you haven't got it now - you are never going to get it" - so...

sod radio 6 et al - we will "do the tinterwebs" - until it all "caves in" at the end of the year of course

The One & Only Bigger Picture Roadshow is Coming to Scotland!!! This month Hot Press & many other fine companies have got together to bring you two events with a massive difference. We are coming to Scotland & we would like to invite you to come & see us in either Motherwell or Aberd...

Have you spoken to Garry White @ Wessex London- he is a bit of a guru on these saws.

It might help if you do business with Wessex - Garry is not a "charity" - but a very knowledgible bloke on these all the same...

Pity about that - I had it in my diary for a visit at least - never mind...

...Maybe some will decide to show at FF Live 12 - which is 23rd September

I had a similar mishap a couple of days back. Being a bit mean I have been saving up some offcuts of dry mount tissue to use on smaller jobs. So I had a 14 x 11 photo to stick down and there was a piece of tissue just the right size with a few little wrinkles but I thought no problem they will flat...

For the first time ever, I decided to flatten out a couple off rolled up prints in the Hotpress, face down ..... BIG MISTAKE ! I laid them out on a scrap bit of White Display Board and heated / pressed them for 5 minutes. When I opened the lid my heart sank, the prints had stuck to the board :( You...
