    Ganz Speed Ez-El - 11x14

    Does any one use a ganz speed easles on 11x14 fibre base paper? My borderless easle does not hold fibre base with out some modifications i guess. My 4 blade easle takes to much of a border to hold the paper flat. Any suggestions, or reviews on the Ganz speed easle for fibre base-Double weight?
    Thanks

    I use one. I like these things and have a full set of them. No uneven borders or making sure the paper is in straight. Just slide it in and go. Perfect every time. One thing you will have to get used to with fiber paper, though, is feeding it into the slot while the inevitable edge curl is objecting to te whole procedure. A trivial inconvenience.

    I also use a set of them, up to 11x14. The main disadvantage is the light weight makes it easy to move them when inserting the paper. With a little care this doesn't happen, though.

    After I get everything composed and focused, I tape it to the base board.

    Clamp a stick edge to edge on the base and slide the easel foot under it.

    Or just put it on a large 1/4 inch board and clamp it down.
