Some guy...
Adding Museum glass to the order will DEFINITELY jump the price!!!
As a long time framer and an unofficial representative of the framing industry, we thank you for spending SOOOOO much money on framing!!
Typically, the moulding comes in "chopped" to size and then we assemble it. We can and do buy in length when the job calls for it and can also buy the frame joined by the supplier depending on the finished size. Getting it joined saves us alot of time but costs more in shipping.
As for the heat/mount press, my table is 44x68 inches. As for time and temps, the inks we use nowadays are unaffected by heat...well.. at least Epsons inks are ok.
The heat will not discolor the ink. The usual time is apx 3 minutes and 180 degrees on my table. For me, 30 seconds would barely allow the table to pull a vacuum let alone activate the adhesive.
The average turnaround of a job is about 2 weeks due to the shipping of some materials and the suppliers delivery schedule.
Tell them 2 and do it in a week and your a framing god!!
