QTR-Quadtone RIP

I think the move occurred 7 or 8 years ago. I remember having placed an order for frames just days before the move with an expected delivery time of less than a week. I got them eventually something like 6-8 weeks later. Ever since they have been out-of-stock on almost anything I have tried to order. The great thing about the original LI was that they had just about everything I needed for storage/matting/framing in high-quality materials under one roof. This is sad after having done business with them since the early 80s.

Here is a list of other suppliers (a few have already been mentioned):

Archival Methods
Gaylord
Hollinger
Talas
University Products
American Frame
Frame Destination
Warehouse Framers
Clear Bags
