High Tech Framing
Posted on October 10, 2009| With our background in the computer industry, Pelican Art uses high technology tools to provide high quality to you in our framing services. Come visit us with your artwork, and we’ll show you why: |

1. Virtual Framing
Tired of having to squint your eyes to imagine what your artwork will look like, based on just one corner sample of moulding and a small piece of matboard? No more … with our Virtual Framer software, we can extend the moulding, mats and other elements of the framing package around the whole image of your art. See it on our new graphics computer at the Gallery.

The Integrated Framer software lets you see the WHOLE framing package!
Integrated Framer® Visualization allows you to capture images of artwork, moulding, matboard and fillet samples with a digital camera and make selections from the samples. Then with the click of a button, the software pieces the selections together to simulate what the finished project will look like.
2. Computerized Mat Cutter
Using a computer-controlled mat cutter, Pelican Art can cut mats to within a 32nd of an inch, per specifications. We can cut out logos, words, and special “clip art” to enhance the complete framing package. Please call 707.773.3393 or email to discuss making your logo or special matting. We offer classes on using the mat cutter to artists.

3. Computerized Work Orders
We can retrieve details on prior work done for you, and frame more in the same manner to make a series for you. Pelican Art uses a Macintosh-based network of computers for Point of Sale information and each work order’s details.
