We have another full roster with 12 participants for both the B&W and Color print exchange this month!?

So....it is time to select your images and start printing!? I've already made ALL of my prints for the Oct/Nov exchange (caveat: I'm semi-retired and apparently have little else to do than process images and make more prints).

Please ship your prints so they arrive in Alaska NO LATER than the last week of November.

Remember: I can't ship the prints back to everyone until I have received prints from ALL of the participants.?
So the sooner EVERYONE sends me their prints, the sooner you will recieve them.

TO SUCCESSFULLY PARTICIPATE PLEASE READ ALL OF THE GUIDELINES BELOW

===================================================================

1) Prints are to be on either Letter (8.5x11) or A4 (8.3"x11.7") size paper. 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 (for example Clear Bags B811SNF) along with a data sheet or label. On the data sheet/label include your name, the date of the exchange, print title and any information about the subject matter, printer, inkset, software, workflow etc on the dech 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 both Letter (8.5x11) and A4 (8.3"x11.7") sized prints.??The total number of prints submitted is likely be greater than for the prior monthly print exchanges, so for those participants in the USA a USPS Flat Rate Medium size box is probably the best choice, especially if you are participating in both the B&W and Color print exchanges.

?5) For example, mailing your prints (addressed to the print exchange coordinator) in a USPS Flat Rate envelope or medium size box with an enclosed prepaid USPS Click-n-Ship return LABEL for a Flat Rate envelope or medium size box (addressed to yourself)?should work?very well. ?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 funds for the cost of a USPS Flat Rate envelope or medium size box (whichever you prefer to use) 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.

With best regards,

Gary Benson
