TO SUCCESSFULLY PARTICIPATE PLEASE READ ALL OF THE GUIDELINES BELOW
===================================================================
1) Prints are to be on larger size papers (for example 11x14", 11x17", 13x19" or A3). Please sign the print (generally done on the front).?
2) On about the 15th of the month you will be notified of how many participants there are for each exchange.? You are to print one print for each of the other participants AND one for yourself.?
3) Prints should be enclosed in individual clear sleeves along with a Tech/Data Sheet. Include the date of the exchange, your name, print title and any information about the subject matter, printer, inkset, software, workflow etc on the Tech/Data Sheet which may be of interest to other participants.? Optional: also include your own?critique?of your image.?
4) Make sure that whatever return box or mailing method you use can accommodate the larger sized prints.
?5) For example, mailing your prints (addressed to the print exchange coordinator) in a flattened USPS Flat Rate medium size box with an enclosed prepaid USPS Click-n-Ship return label for a Flat Rate Medium size box (addressed to yourself)?should work ok, although some US post offices are charging postage based on the actual dimensions of the flattened box instead of the Medium Flat Rate postage. ?See this message for additional details?and images of how others have packaged their prints.
6) If you have not included a return postage pre-paid label please send the print exchange coordinator $16 for the cost of a USPS Flat Rate Medium size box attached to a sheet of paper which?clearly?shows your return address.?
7) Upload a file of the image you have printed into the?correct photo album.? It permits those that are not actively participating in the current exchange an opportunity to observe.? It also creates a historical record that is useful over the years.?
8) Comments on prints are welcome and encouraged, but are not required for participation in a print exchange.? Any topic or theme for a print exchange is entirely optional.

Hi folks,
?
Yesterday I received the final Dec/Jan prints I was waiting for, so I will get them all sorted, packed and mailed back to you this weekend.
?
Gary

Re: Interest in another large print exchange?
Hi Josh.? My post was just to gage interest this year in the usual large print (sizes up to a maximum of A3 or 13x19 inches) which we've been doing in the February/March time period for many years.
?
With respect to an exchange of panoramic prints (which I think only you, Mike King and myself are interested in), I've been waiting to contact you and Mike once I knew if we would have a normal large print exchange this year.? It may be possible for you and Mike to include the panoramic prints for our exchange in with whatever box etc you and Mike would use to ship the "large" (A3/13x19) prints to me.
?

Re: Interest in another large print exchange?
New Year¡¯s greetings to all, and thank you, Gary, and the rest of you, for recent emails.?
I¡¯m just now catching up¡
I may have missed a beat, so clarification is needed: is the proposed ¡°large print¡± exchange the same as the previously proposed panorama exchange? I had expressed interest in the latter; though I could be tempted to do either (one or the other).?
Otherwise¡ªGary¡ªgetting images organized, ready for print, and off to you soon.?
Re what do to with the accumulated prints: I tend to sort through them periodically, and to create a ¡°favorite's¡± pile. But, as they are things of beauty, I have hesitated ¡°recycling¡± any, though I may have to, eventually. I have also ?informed friends and family that I have in possession a growing collection of ¡°fine¡± photographic prints (of a great many subjects!) for sharing and / or display, should there be interest! ?
Cheers, ¡ª´³´Ç²õ³ó

I empathize with Jayanand's storage problem. I have a little closet that I put in shelves almost up to the ceiling and it is getting full!

I've started culling a bit. It's the only way you ever see any prints...going through boxes to cull :-). and Marianne is accusing me the fire danger (long before the LA fires). I wonder how flammable all the resin coated papers are? or the pure cotton rag ones?

Re: Interest in another large print exchange?
Welcome back Tom F!? It will be GREAT to see prints from you again.? I'm sure you have taken/made alot of excellent and creative images since the last time you shared prints with us in the exchanges.? I imagine the hardest part for you will be selecting a few images to print and share.
?
Gary
|
Re: Interest in another large print exchange?
I understand Jayanand.? I can't bring myself to do it, but perhaps Mike King's storage solution of keeping the best and burning or recycling the rest would work for you.
?
I always look forward to seeing your prints, especially in large exchange.? After I post the initial lists on February 1st, I won't be finalizing the Feb/Mar exchange lists until 15th.
