Edges Art Framers
New Service
Edges installed a visual software programme in late 2006, the first New Zealand company to use it. A photo is taken of a customer's artwork and scanned on to the computer from where it can be displayed on a big screen facing the customer. The work can be instantly shown with any frame or colours on the screen. The screen will also show the background colour of the customer's room at home.
Suzy comments that framers are often slightly older people, such as herself, often practical but not necessarily experienced with computers. However people like Abbey Merson, with her computing degree and artistic background, are now coming into the business. Abbey trains people to use the equipment and is putting systems in place to streamline production.
