QTR-Quadtone RIP

There is already a yahoo group that does black and white print exchanges.

I used to be a member but have been focused on other things recently.

It worked like this.

a theme was sent out
14 people or so would respond, 12 members and 2 alternates.

the participants would print up the proper number of images.
They would mail them in a fed ex box to a central location (the guy that ran the print exchange)
In the fedex box would be another fedex box with a preconfigured return way bill.
once all the photos were in, they would be distributed to the members via fedex.

It was a cool thing to participate in.

regards
Brentley

Interesting idea Paul. I have a few thoughts and see
several obstacles implementing it: Who gets what
print? If we all send prints to one location then who
distributes them and how does he get compensated for
doing so? (Maybe we send in our print plus 10 bucks to
cover shipping out to the recipient... I wouldn't be
against this)

How do we know what's available? (Someone would have
to create a website to display the available
prints...or could JPGs be displayed in the Files
area?)

On another note, I'm very interested to see you're
using the same printer/ink combination that I am. 
I've created a few curves for the papers I like to
use, and if you or anyone else who uses R1800/3MK has
created their own curves then I'd be very interested
in swapping them. I suppose this would simply mean
making a greater effort to uploading the curves to the
files section.
