I'm ready to send mine on Wednesday, need packing advice.

Something like this is my favorite for shipping prints.  Ideally, you get a box 2 inches greater than your print dimensions.  I then stack the prints between flat sheets of corrugated cardboard that is also larger than the prints and just small enough to fit inside the box.  A few well placed pieces of masking tape around the edges of the two sheets of cardboard will keep the prints centrally located and safe from corner damage.

I've received prints rolled up in mailing tubes, in inkjet paper packaging (within a larger cardboard box) and also inside a strong fiberboard box.  Everything has arrived safely so far.

Mine aren't signed, as I had them shipped directly from the printer. If somebody wants me to sign them in case I make it Big some day, feel free to send it to me for signing

Mine will go out on Monday - still traveling atm...

[Ronny Nilsen]

Shipping out my prints today. Sorry for the delay.

Question, do people want prints signed? I am not a fan of doing that, but if that's what others want, it's fine.

I have printed and signed mine in the usual way I print my images, but I sign with a pencil, so feel free to use an eraser.  

I just finished all the prints, and will try to ship them tomorrow.

Hi, Chris,

I saw the end of the month approaching quickly and having just got a new computer over the holidays I hurried to get it assembled and up and running.

With that all done, I ran the print job last night, but woke up to discover that I am out of two inks *sigh*.  I've placed a replacement order (ConeColor pigment inks), but it's going to be a few days until they arrive.

I'm very sorry to be "that guy" holding up the show.  I imagine it will take another week before mine will get to you.  I will definitely keep you posted.

My sincere apologies for any inconvenience to you and all of the other print swap participants.  (I hope the work I am sending will be worth the wait.)

Best regards,
-Brad

Brad - You are not the only one.   I have been working on a new image and I'm just about ready to print it.   I will get it run off tonight and shipped out tomorrow.

Let me know if I'm missing you.  Also, if anyone would like to drop out, this would be a good time as we might have time to fill the ranks.

Happy New Year!

I am more torn with this 11x17 shape - need something more 4:3 for my work.   Looks like I gotta add some background.

By the way - what seems to be the paper of choice?

Don't feel constrained by 11x17.  I just wanted to set a maximum dimension so I can get everyone's prints in one size box.  If your shot is a square, print a square.

The prints are varied, some glossy, some matte, some with borders, others full bleed... however you like to print your work.

[bradleygibson]

BTW, what's a NIC print?

Oh, and regarding maximum size--I never did see an answer to my question on that until the above post--my work is a square print on a 17" (square) sheet.   Too big?

Best regards,

I don't know about the others, but I'm shipping in an 11x17 box.  So, if you ask me, that's too big...
