Dunco Panorama Easel?

[Lachlan Young]

Has anyone found any images of the Dunco Panorama Easel? It was apparently introduced in 2015-ish, going by a thread on here, but I'd be interested to know if any have been made & what the price is. I understand it's supposed to be about 28x71cm in size (which suggests a 20.3x61cm maximum sheet size) but can otherwise find almost no information about it. I'll probably try making contact with Dunco, but it would be good to know if anyone has encountered/ used one.

It is a pity that Dunco today keep such a low profile and that one has to ask even for photos/specifications of long time listed or announced products

I did eventually get a reply to the effect that the maximum paper size is 28x71cm (presumably its outside dimensions are about 10cm larger), it weighs 13kg & currently costs EUR 875 net.

So that's 2 stone in old money and North of £750. An object to behold on both counts!

It's actually about par for the course for a 4-blade easel of that size & limited market.

Although nothing like as big as the Dunco you are interested in, mine must be made of paper by comparison in terms of weight

Presumably the weight is not a problem but does the price make it a reasonable buy for you?

If it is available and the price is not a problem then it is a reasonable buy

There still is the alternative to use a standard easel, apply cuts and then shorten respectively elongate it to the new aspect ratio.

The only difference in effect would be the masking blades no langer be able to pass the center lines. A shortcoming only in case someone needs that possibility,
