Digital BW, The Print

Hola/Gruß Alejandro,

a print exchange is a temporary group that agrees to send each other 
one print, in exchange for one from each of the other participants. 
Someone acts as a co-ordinator, accepting all of the prints from 
everyone, sorting them, then sending them back out. I have 
participated in a few from here in Düsseldorf, Bernd Langmack has 
from Essen. 

The number participating is usually limited to thirty or less, and in 
the past, the slots have filled quickly.

I've never sorted out the options for sending to the US via FedEx or 
UPS, or what that would mean with duty and VAT coming back, as those 
carriers usually charge that as well and settle with the customs. I 
assume if they were marked "gift" or had a small nominal value, there 
wouldn't be a fee... don't know. I'm one of the dogs that drives to 
co-ordinators mad, and to the post.
