drop out of the JULY PRINT EXCHANGE. 

Prints are due to my by July 8 (but I can obviously be flexible this 
month).

link.

thanks,

      July Print Exchange data sheet

* Sign up will be limited to the first 15 PLUS 3 alternates.

* Sign up by EMAILING me using the clicking the link in the "from" 
field above

*Prints are digital BW on either letter (8x5 x 11) or A4 (European
equivalent) paper.

* Will also accept prints from 3 or more alternates (if not needed, 
they
will automatically be the first included in the next 3 spots available
(one of the next two months).

* Prints must arrive on West Coast U.S. by July 8.

* Prints can be shipped to me any way you like, but must include a
prepaid return shipping box for either UPS or FEDEX ONLY (new postal
regulations require in person post office shipping for anything over 
one
pound and downtown SF postal duties are just too onerous). To save
money, the return can be via UPS or FedEx ground (but both services
require that ground shipments strictly be in "you own packaging" not 
the
2-day air boxes).

* 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
accommodate 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. DO NOT
SEAL THE SMALL BOX... Maybe add a little tissue or newspaper for
protection. PLEASE FIX THE RETURN LABEL ON THE SMALL BOX SO I DON'T 
MESS
UP WHO THE PRINTS GO TO. 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.
Again, please attach your shipping label correctly to the box...this 
is
occasionally critical as it gets confusing sorting. (side note: tape 
is
the biggest threat to a print...most new users tape waaaaay too much).

* Prints should all be enclosed in individual glassine/plastic holders
with a description sheet facing the back (for sorting). PLEASE NOTE 
THE
EXCHANGE MONTH THE PRINTS ARE ENTERED IN (I usually have 3 months 
being
shipped at once). The print protectors 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.
Don't forget to sign the print.

* After I receive 15 sign ups and 3 alternates (who will send in
prints), I will post a "closed" on the forum. The alternates are
necessary to fill the exchange if we have a "drop out" or "late 
shipper"
but I will not enlarge past the 15 level so those who chose to can 
print
early and mail off the 14 prints. If any of the 15 participants are
late, their prints will be replaced by any I might have from 
Alternates
so we can start shipping prints on the due date and accommodate all
those people who always get them in on time.

* 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>).
