2018/2019 8X10/11X14 Print Exchange begins today

[Tin Can]

Hi Printers,

Two boxes have arrived. One has bending damage to the box middle, the box ends were not crushed. A few prints are slightly crimped in the middle, but not all are. It is minimal on left center edge for 1". Maybe fixable with a hot press. I will not do that as I don't want that responsibility.

I suggest anyone that has not yet shipped include something to strengthen the box.

I have used old mat board, thin plywood, foamcore, etc. The box is same cost for any weight I think to over 20 lbs lbs, so steel plate could be used. NOT suggested as that amount of sharp edged mass will rip the box open. I had that happen with a lens shipment last month. Heavy lens...the outer box was wide open. All good.

Hendrik has stated here that his box is coming from EU and I know US customs is working as I had a China shipment pass Chicago customs this weekend.

The Print Exchange is ON!

Mine are almost ready, just to flatten them and pack, they will be shipped before the end of this week. Hopefully they'll make it across the Atlantic in time.
I originally intended to use just matboard, but the plywood idea is not bad... I should have some 6mm offcuts from a recent project...

3 boxes have arrived.

Andrelos, I sure hope and believe a small box can ship from CZ to US within 6 weeks!

I sent mine and takpro in the same box on 6 Jan from Singapore. Will probably take another week to reach you. Hopefully no damage as i sent it out before i saw yr note on enforcing the package.

Sounds good pound, we are getting closer!

I had to look up when I started this project, July 2018.

Large Format is a slow process!

Pound the box just arrived in great outside condition. I will open later when temps equalize. I am positive it is fine.

Post marked 05/01/2019 so 10 days!

Okay.

Well, this project has been a much larger challenge for me than I anticipating. At the very least, I've been able to get a lot done in making developing and printing 11x14 possible because of the prospect of the deadline, but I'm still not sure I'm going to make it.

I'm still not sure I'm going to be able to succeed. This weekend will be the printing weekend. I hope, then, I'll have a box in the mail by the end of next week.

Take your time.

I am not shipping until they are all here, hopefully by END of February!

Thanks, Randy!
