Got a +100kg vintage nipping press delivered today (way bigger than I thought it would be mind!) for the sole purposes of flattening placemats as the things, like everyone no doubt, drives us mad trying to get them flat. With a few staff then it really is a no no to have heavy boxes all over the studio floor due to 'elf and safety.
So, my back is now killing me having managed to get it to the perfect position on our studio floor (thankfully about 2 foot from the outside door it came in from).
I have four 28x28 Unisub placemats just cooked and now in the nipping press (which may get the name of Michael after Michael Flatley - customer suggestion!).
So come tomorrow we shall see how they are and if perfect we will up to 10 in the nipping press and then will see about more.
Any more nipping press names welcome before the official naming ceremony Friday afternoon with a coffee and biscuit.
Hopefully if this works it may give some others a solution to this problem.
