There is no relevance in this number beyond it being our unique reference to your work. The Job Numbers are not necessarily issued in any particular order.The same reference number may also be used if other work is done by us relating to this image.
This is the minimum sufficient to identify the image - it may well be the title you have given the image, if one is available.
Please note that in case of loss or damage to material whilst it is in our hands our liability will not exceed the value declared here. Consequential damage claims will not be considered unless requested here.
This will normally summarise the job in hand - windowmount and frame, for example.
We will notify a suitable date here. It will normally be 10 working days after the day of handing in. For regular clients, using their routine mountboards and mouldings, we aim to reduce this timescale whenever possible. If we are unable to meet the given date we will telephone you as soon as possible.
Any notes will be made here - continued overleaf if necessary. In particular, for our own protection, we would be anxious to point out any stains, smudges, blemishes, or other marks that are on work being handed over to us.
A copy (the bottom copy) of all the above information is handed to you by way of receipt for each image entrusted to us.
On completion of our work we will ask for your signature to show safe return of your material into your care.
We can frame to a variety of standards. Normally it is to High View Artist Standard. This is broadly similar to the Fine Art Trade Guild Commended Standard,with one or two minor alterations. Further details are available (here), but - in brief - we use buffered, acid-free, white core, conservation quality materials wherever possible.
This is the size of the image, or printing plate. We prefer millimetres, but we do not insist on it. It is essential that we write the width first, then the height.
Around a printing plate, or for a limited edition print with signature, we need to allow some white space - normally about 10-20mm to the edge of the inner window mount (mat).
For a picture with no border we need overlap it slightly. For this we allow 2mm all round: ie you will lose 4mm on the width, and 4mm on the height. We can work to a closer tolerance than this, but will need to be notified, and the cost will increase. (This figure will be written, on the form, as a minus quantity.)
The width of the window mount closest to the picture is something we will discuss with you, since it is a matter of taste, and also needs to relate to picture and chosen moulding.
Some people like the lower border to be of greater width than the others. It adds, slightly, to the cost. If that is the case we will write the size of the lower border first.
From the information above we can work out the glass size, and from that we work out the measurements for the moulding - allowing an extra one or two millimetres all round, so that the glass is an easy fit. (We have to allow for expansion.)
If there is a second window mount then we need to know its width, or the (more usually) the width of the inner mount that is to show between the two mounts.
We need to know what to use, and we have a variety of codes to help us identify your chosen materials.
We can make a note of anything out of the ordinary here.
These are for our own reference and office use.
