[New!] Nielsen Metal Frames!

Looking for a frame that is lightweight, versatile, and easy to assemble or store away? A frame style that is sleek, posh and sophisticated? Look no further, we have got you covered!

Our newest additions of colored metal frames.

Metal frames have been around for a while. They were originally made by a framer named Donald Hubert after a museum conference in 1967. Their purpose was to be sturdy, lightweight and easy to dismantle so that artworks from the Art Institute of Chicago could be loaned out to other institutions and exhibitions. Nowadays, they can be found in virtually any space, but especially in those where the artwork needs constant changing - offices, retail spaces, museums. 

New metal frames in traditional colors.

Traditionally metal frames could only be made in either silver or black, polished or brushed. However, Nielsen's new line of metal frames showcase a brand new array of profiles, colors, and finishes. We now carry metal frames in green, blue and red, and even a very convincing wood finish!

Look at this awesome convincingly good wood finish!

3/8" Contrast Grey

5/16" Silver

3/8" Frosted Gold

7/16" Antique Gold

These new gold ones are my absolute favorite. The chrome undertone makes for a very modern and sophisticated touch-  reminds me of champagne.

What are some benefits of a metal frame?

• Affordable: Aluminum mouldings tend to be less expensive than wood, and are also lighter to transport. Since they are easy to assemble upon arrival, they can be packaged and shipped in lengths.  
• Easy to assemble: To put a metal frame together, the only equipment needed is screwdriver, as opposed to wooden frames (which are joined by wood glue, staples, and clamps) and require time for setting.
• Extremely versatile: Modern metal frames come in a wide variety of colours, shapes, profiles and finishes. Lengths of the same metal profile can also be interchanged with one another and combined to create different dimensions as needed.
• Easy to store: When not in use, metal frames can be disassembled and condensed into any slim place.  
• Durable: Made with anodized aluminum, metal frames are corrosion and wear-resistant, making it more able to withstand rust and oxidation
• Archival use: Aluminum is an inert material that does not out-gas or contain acids, eliminating the need to seal the rabbet when doing conservation framing

And screw it in!

New Product - Fabric Printing is Available!

It's finally here!

You've asked, we listened, and now we finally have it: dye-sublimated fabric printing is now available!

Using our Epson SureColor, we can now print your graphics and images in stunning, vivid color, and sublimate them onto your choice of 5 different kinds of fabric. Through heat and pressure, the inks are absorbed into the very threads of the synthetic fibres, dye-ing them directly. This ensures that the printed graphic will not flake off, as the colors have been infused into the fabric itself. Perfect for branding T-Shirts, athletic wear, patterned quilts and dresses, pillows, and banners!

Available Fabric Types:

Fabric Type	Composition	Weight	Properties	Applications
Brushed Poly/Spandex	86% polyester, 14% spandex	200 gsm	wicking yarn, brushed back, very soft hand	athletic wear – zip-up jackets, leggings and yoga pants
ChitoSante Extreme	92% polyester, 8% spandex	255 gsm	antibacterial, wicking yarn, UPF protection	yoga pants, leggings, polo shirts, dresses, long sleeve shirts, zip-up jackets, shorts, dancewear
ChitoSante Interlock	100% polyester	145 gsm	antibacterial, wicking yarn, UPF protection	tank-tops, t-shirts, skirts, dresses, tablecloths, lining, baby wraps
Microfibre Fine Twill	100% polyester	115 gsm	water resistant, peached face, soft hand	shirts, dresses, skirts, bags, banners, flags, tablecloths
Polyester Twill	100% polyester	220 gsm	no special properties	bags, banners, shorts, pants and tablecloth

Please note that we do not print on cotton materials (or any third party supplied material), as the dye-sublimation process can only work on synthetic polyester. This is due to the lack of pores found in natural materials such as cotton; without the pores, the inks would not be able to saturate into the fabric.

Please also note that the cartridges do not use white ink, and that any white in the original image will be the colour of the substrate onto which the dye ink is transferred.
