Re: OT: Shipping Prints

Peter;

Unles your paper came from a roll or is RC, it seems a shame to roll it 
up and stuff it in a tube. I always ship flat-put each print in a clear 
sleeve (clearbags.com)and sanwhich them between 2 or 3 sheets of 
currugated cardboard. Yes, more trouble, more cost, but the prints get 
there with their dignity intact.
