I am happy that we have this exchange. It will be a pleasure to make Lith prints and to see how the ones of other photographers look like.

Oops I think I responded in the wrong thread.
I am going to try to print now, in February, and will sign up if I manage to do it.

Not that is a great turnout for the first three days. So far 5 fixed bookings and 2 prospects:

1 RauschenOderKorn
2 piu58
3 awty
4 Dali
5 Winger

 

[RauschenOderKorn]

Just for clarification: You are welcome to send a pre-prepared print. As this is a hobby for most of us, we usually do not sit on a stash of "exchange quality" prints. But if you work ahead or have something prepared since long ago - that is all fine with us.

I re-printed my salted paper print today. The first one had a small defect, and I also wanted to print it just a tiny bit deeper. Today was a nice sunny day here, so it was a good day to make another copy.

I am using a new way of making alignment marks ( so that no pencil marks are near the image area ) and I forgot to erase them before I started processing the print. I know some people call these "maker's marks" and think of them as part of the print, but I intended to erase them. They do not extend into the area that would be visible if the print were framed, even with a little space between the window mat and the image area, so it's not a big deal, but I'm still sorry I forgot. ( Not that I'm suggesting it's worthy of framing ) Looking forward to the exchange!

And the sign-up for the first Alt & Lith Print Exchange has come to an end.
This is a great turn out, thank you very much for your commitment.

Within in the next 1-3 days, I will send everybody a PM with the shipping address where to ship their print and open a status thread for updates.
