        APRIL 2006 Print Exchange Info Sheet - COMPANION ANIMAL THEME

  * This will be a THEME MONTH. What would life be without the love of 
  our companion animals (or someone else's if you don't presently live 
  with one)?  The April Exchange will be in memory of Gavin, Gary and 
  Kathleen Benson's wonder dog, who died suddenly at the age of only 
  8. Send us your best image of any companion animal and the world 
  will be a better place for it !!!

  * Sign up will be limited to the first 15 PLUS 3 alternates.

  * Sign up by EMAILING me (use the link in the "from" field above)

  * Prints are digital BW on either letter (8x5 x 11) or A4 (European 
  letter equivalent).

  * Will also accept prints from 3 or more alternates (if not needed, 
  they will automatically be the first included in the next 3 spots 
  available (one of the next two months).

  * Prints must arrive on West Coast U.S. by APRIL 21.

  * Prints can be shipped to me any way you like, but must include a 
  prepaid return shipping box for domestic shipments (international 
  participants will be returned via USPS global priority, generally 
  costing about $10 USD to Europe). 

  * Remember that prints will be BOTH Letter and A4. The MEDIUM FedEx 
  box fits the SMALL FedEx Box inside for very easy return and the 
  SMALL BOX neatly holds both sizes of print. DO NOT SEAL THE SMALL 
  BOX... If you like, add a little tissue or newspaper for protection. 
  PLEASE FIX THE RETURN LABEL ON THE SMALL BOX SO I CAN TELL WHOM THE 
  PRINTS GO TO. This would be the method STRONGLY PREFERRED for quick 
  easy turnaround. Sending prints in the manufacturer's paper box WILL 
  NOT WORK due to paper size differences. Again, please attach your 
  shipping label correctly to the box...this is occasionally critical 
  as it gets confusing sorting.

  * Tips to save money on FedEx: use FedEx Ground or Home. It's less 
  than half the price of Express. Open a FedEx account-it's free and 
  they charge to your credit card; you save 10% when you print your 
  own label onine. Do not use FedEx Express boxes for the Ground or 
  Home service or they will charge you at the Express rates. You can 
  order boxes for $.35 from Uline.com that are plain boxes for any 
  service.

  * Prints should all be enclosed in individual glassine/plastic 
  holders with a description sheet facing the back (for sorting). 
  PLEASE NOTE THE EXCHANGE MONTH THE PRINTS ARE ENTERED. The 
  description should include at least: Print title, your name, 
  shooting data, printing data. At a minimum this should include 
  printer, inkset, software (including print driver/software). Any 
  comments or stories on workflow would be very interesting and 
  welcome. Don't forget to sign the print.

  * Be SURE to email me if you have any problems or questions.
  especially if the problems are causing delays in printing or 
  shipping.we can always work it out.
