    Laminated photo blocks, acrylics etc.

    Following on from my cold laminator thread......

    Does anyone make their own photo blocks, acrylic photo sheets etc. using a laminator? I was looking at the kit on canvas and stretcher bars but I can't get responses to my emails so a bit reluctant to buy.

    Also found a different laminator which looks ok here:

    Just looking for suppliers of the blocks etc. really.

    Find a laser cutting specialist . Buy in 50mm cast acrylic sheet, or get whoever laser cuts them for you to buy it in They will get a better rate than you if they process acrylic on a regular basis.

    Thats the cheapest way to do it if you want to buy in a few.

    Have just purchased a laser today at Trophex, let me know if you want a price for 20mm acrylic blocks. I havent bought this machine to supply trade, but this thread got me thinking about lasers again so its in part thanks to you Ive bought this kit.

    Cheers Justin
