Print Exchange

Not sure if an attempt has been made for an Australian based print exchange.
Just testing the water to see if there is enough interest to organise such an exchange.

I would be happy to contribute to this exchange as soon as I have some prints to share. I hope it takes off!

I'm keen to participate so count me in.

Greetings All;
I have just received my 9 prints from 'The Large Format Print Exchange ,2010'
This is how it runs :- Members make say 10 identical prints, these are mailed to the 'co-ordinator' who , when the first 10 parcels arrive, opens them up and then places one print into each pile, which in turn is then wrapped-up and posted back to each of the group members. So in effect you receive 9 new images in your return parcel, great:
Now for some rules , each image must be 'unounted' and say 8" x10" in size, this makes the parcel size more manageable and reduces the postal cost.
By selecting a padded postal bag it may be possible to re-use the same bag / packet for the return of the exchange images. Postal costs may vary across Australia ? The Co-ordinator must have the 'time to process all images received AND visit a Post Office to 'Mail the return images '.How the 'return postage amount is calculated and paid to be determined,etc These are some of the items to sort out, (B T W the reason for 10 Images is for one image to be donated to the Co-ordinator for his time and trouble.).
.............. Depending upon the final format I too may wish to be involved in an Australian Print Exchange . Rexton.

depending on the format and timing (I never commit to something I can't do!), I might be interested.

I do like how the LF print exchange works however due to the likely numbers, some changes might need to be implemented. The LF one worked on a FIFO (first in first out) basis but that requires enough participants that there are multiple groups. We might be better off having a sign-up period and the list of participants is split into reasonable sized groups (may just be one group!). The LF exchange worked this way previous years. This way you send the right number of prints.

Cheers, Nige.
