Since it is not an animal theme I will sign up if it is not too late 
already.

Subject: [Digital BW] APRIL PRINT EXCHANGE SIGN UP OPEN




Hi again-

The April print exchange sign up is now open. Please email me offline
if you would like to participate:

* 14 BW digital letter sized prints
* due on West Coast USA by April 26

Complete details below.

Cheers,

Tom O'Connell




APRIL 05 Print Exchange Info Sheet - ANIMAL THEME

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

* Sign up by EMAILING me (use the link in the "from" field above)

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

* 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 APRIL 26.

* Prints can be shipped to me any way you like, but must include a
prepaid return shipping box for either UPS or FEDEX ONLY for domestic
shipments (international participants will be returned via USPS,
generally costing about $12 USD to Europe). To save money, the return
can now be via UPS or FedEx ground (but both services require that
ground shipments strictly be in "your own packaging" not the 2-day
air boxes).

* Remember that 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... If you like, add a little
tissue or newspaper for protection. PLEASE FIX THE RETURN LABEL ON
THE SMALL BOX SO I CAN TELL WHOM 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.

* 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. 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.
