Longridge launch the Trio Mount Cutting System – and lots more - at Focus on Imaging

22th February 2007

New at Focus 2007- The Trio System, V grooving, Developments in Cutting Technology, Instructional DVD

Stand F29, Hall 9

Longridge are excited to be launching the new Trio Mount Cutter System at Focus on Imaging 2007. 

The Trio is designed for cutting multiple mounts and is therefore ideal for photographers and photographic studios where presentation is vital – but so is time.

By setting the parallelogram on the Trio to the chosen width of border, the Trio is quickly ready to cut as many identical mounts as required.  Commenting on the new Trio, Christopher Longridge said “The Trio ensures multiple mounts are cut consistently and accurately to the size needed.  Its introduction means that we now have a mount cutter to offer the photographic studio that combines Longridge quality with all the features needed in a commercial environment.”

The Trio is available in two sizes, for cutting mountboard up to 620mm and the Trio Plus for mounts up to 865mm wide.

Also new at Focus 2007 is the new Longridge Bevel Cutter with integral V groover.  Development of the Bevel Cutter now means that V grooving can be readily achieved with any of the Longridge Mount Cutter systems simply by an easy adjustment of the blade depth.  “We have been asked for a V grooving attachment but we have gone one better by making the Bevel Cutter itself capable of cutting this attractive form of decoration, so it now comes for free with every system” said Christopher Longridge. 

Cutting technology is at the heart of any good mount cutter and two important developments will be showcased at Focus this year. 

The new Longridge blade has been designed and manufactured in the UK.  “We are delighted with the design of the new blade, cutting technology is advancing rapidly and we work hard to make sure we keep up with the best the industry has to offer” commented Christopher Longridge.

Yet another innovation from Longridge is the SprintMat.  This specially designed laminated board provides the perfect base medium for the blade to cut into by guiding the blade, resulting in straighter window edges and a smoother cutting action.

Longridge will also be proudly presenting their new DVD which is included with all Longridge Systems.  It provides detailed graphical instructions on how to cut a professional quality mount and also gives ideas on mount cutting design.  It has a voice over in five languages, English, French, German, Spanish and Italian indicating the company’s plans for the European market this year.

Longridge are exhibiting on Stand F29, Hall 9.  As always, demonstrations will be running continuously on how to cut professional quality mounts with ease and precision.
