Printing Contacts.....Kallkwik

Printing Contacts....I have a few, but Karen at KallKwik in Truro is one of the friendliest and most helpful, they can do digital prints and greetings cards at very reasonable prices as well as all your usual printing needs like business cards, leaflets etc. http://www.kallkwik.co.uk/truro/

Display equipement more....card spinner......

2009-07-06T13:57:00.000-07:00

Where can I find a card spinner??? This simple question haunted me for ages, I bought numerous inappropriate stands that just didnt fit my cards. In the end I saw one in a shop with the suppliers label still on it, Whoopeeeee!

It was from wire fittings http://www.wirefittings.co.uk/ProductInfo.asp?fdproductId=935 its perfect not very cheap, £97.00 but exactly what I wanted, it looks professional and works just as it should!

Display Equipement

2009-07-06T13:56:00.000-07:00

Browser for prints and unframed drawings etc? This one also occupied me for ages too. I purchase a lovely light wood (beach I think) one from http://www.greatart.co.uk/ for £33.00. It works just as it should.

Newsletters and Mailing lists

2009-07-06T13:50:00.000-07:00

Another excellent resource for printmaking supplies, Great Art www.greatart.co.uk is a mail order supplier of most art equipement with very good range of printmaking supplies including presses. There is a postage charge for orders under £50.00 but I often either wait until I have a large order or club together with someone else.

Hi

I am often asked where I get things from like printmaking equipment or cards printed etc. Which printer I use, where I get canvases etc.

I also have lots of questions to ask. So I thought this would be a good idea.

This started on Facebook so if you would like to become a fan on face book please look up the Artists Network Cornwall.

I think the blog will be easier to find information, but face book may be easier to share. If you subscribe to this blog you will hopefully, received any updates.

So if you have a question please ask and if you have some knowledge to share please share it here!!

See you soon
Suzy
