Postcard Exchange - Round 6

Nige · 02-03-2006, 08:04 AM

Round 6 of the APUG Postcard Exchange is calling for participants.

Current (and new participants who've already sent their info) members have been emailed so no need to reply here. Anyone else with an interest, read on...

We have 'rounds' of postcards where everyone on the list sends everyone else a postcard during the 'print and post' month which occurs each 3mths (4 times a year). There are usually approximately 20 participants. The postcards are predominately B&W prints, but there have been alternative processes (some stunning examples). Anythings welcome.

The upcoming schedule is :

Round 6
February :Sign On
March : Print and Post
April : R&R

Round 7
May : Sign on
June : Print and Post
July : R&R

If you're interested, email ( nigel@apug.org ) or PM, your full name, address, APUG name and email I can contact you at (I send out the mailing list)

Cheers!

I'm in again too.

I think the last round was by far the best in terms of quality of printing and variety of methods used.

I'm going to give it a whirl. Excellent Idea whomever came up with this.

Psst Jim, Keep this quiet. If you need a box of postcard stock, I can send you one.

All,
This is my first go at this sort of thing....I've seen that Ilford makes card stock; is there anything special that needs to be done to assure image durability for transit ?

Thanks !

Hi Steve, nothing special for the Ilford stuff, it's pretty tough. Inkjets tend to get beaten up a bit, and those sending delicate alternative processes, usually know if they should send in an envelope to protect.

Aggie's gone into the reseller business

Actually, has anyone purchased any of the new stock yet?

I've been keeping an eye out, but as yet have not seen it available anywhere. Not even advertised as coming soon.
