Training in Mounting & Laminating and Inkjet Printing

Lion has been involved in hot and cold mounting and laminating for a very long time, having created the original Hot Glass Press many years ago.

Our specialist Fine Print department helps the many people in the art and framing trade who see the potential for inkjet printing of artwork.

In 2012, we're running some one-day training courses. They will cover many aspects, including:
• Face mounting onto acrylic
• Surface mounting and laminating,
• Canvas mounting and laminating
• Hot dry mounting and over-laminating

During the afternoon, there will be an inkjet printing clinic, with expert advice on hand for those that wish it.

We plan to hold them at Lion in Birmingham and at Lion South. Please contact us for an information sheet and booking form.

The courses will be at no cost. But, to eliminate time wasters, we'll ask for a £40 (£33-33 plus vat) cheque deposit, which will be returned to you when you arrive. If you don't arrive, we'll cash it.

These courses are run in association with Canon, SeaLion and Fine Print.
