Subject: [Digital BW] June & July PRINT EXCHANGE SIGN UP
Hi all-
Sign up is open for the June and July print exchanges.
June will be another "no theme" exchange...letter/A4 size exactly on
the terms of the May exchange.
I will be going on the first 2 week vacation of my life in june, so
the ship date will not be as flexible as I have been on all the other
exchanges. I would like to receive all prints by June 1, but I MUST
have them by JUNE 4 so I can sort and reship them before I leave on
June 8. On June 4, I will ship what I have; if some are missing, I
will have to ship back prints to participants and any arriving after
june 4 will just get sent back. Sorry to sound so dictatorial, but
it's either that or skip June. If you worry you cannot meet this
deadline, please sign up for a later month.
July will be the obvious...PATRIOTIC THEME...please ship to arrive
around July 4. (but not during my vacation, June 9-22) Same
terms...letter/A4, fedex shipping, etc.
Data sheets below.
Keep shooting...

---------------------
June data Sheet:
June - No Theme - Print Exchange data sheet
* Sign up will be limited to the first 15.
* Prints must arrive on West Coast U.S. by June 1.
* Unless we find it is impossible from the country of origin (or
Piggly Wiggly), shipping should include a prepaid return shipping
voucher/label (and container if the original cannot be reused). I
will work with anyone who really has a problem with this, but this
really is what is making the monthly exchange work. I strongly
prefer Fedex, but UPS is fine, too if you include the shipping label.
Prints will get redelivered in order of ease of delivery..i.e. not
sure when I can get time off to stand in line at the Post Office.)
* Prints will be BOTH Letter and A4. This is a shipping challenge. It
is imperative that all prints be shipped in a container that will
accomodate BOTH SIZES of paper since the return will include both
sizes. The MEDIUM Fedex box fits the SMALL Fedex Box inside for very
easy return and the SMALL BOX neatly holds both sizes of print ...
maybe add a little tissue for protection. This would be the method
STRONGLY PREFERRED for quick easy turnaround. Sending prints in the
manufacturer's paper box WILL NOT WORK... A4 will not fit in letter,
nor will letter fit in A4.
* Prints should all be enclosed in individual glassine/plastic
holders with a description sheet facing the back (for sorting). These
are available from many sources, small quantities are for sale at
inkjetart.com... larger quantities all over the internet. The
description should include at least: Print title, your name, shooting
data, printing data. At a minimum this should include printer,
inkset, software (including print driver/software). Any comments or
stories on workflow would be very interesting and welcome.
* THE THEME...no theme in June... Show us your best.
* After I receive 15 signups, I will post on the forum, but will
continue to take names for a waiting list, just in case we have
a "drop out" or "no show" but I will not enlarge past the 15 level so
those who chose to can print early and mail them off.
* Any suggestions for this exchange or future ones solicited and
welcome (all the ideas came from the forum anyhow...unless you REALLY
like them, then they ARE mine <g>).
