> I think I would be disappointed receiving a computer generated reproduction in exchange for my hard crafted unique print. Even if it is of exquisite quality.

I would be disappointed too.

That said, I might also be interested in participating in an "ink on paper" print exchange. Being a relatively new active participant here, I am unsure how one would go about organizing this.

Actually, I do believe an inkjet exchange would work, as this is not the first time the topic comes up in the forum.

Organising it is easy: As the exchanges are all "user organised functions", you just do it. If you like, you can have a look what piu58 and I (mainly copying from piu58) have done and modify the way you like. Generally, it is a good idea to have something like a FAQ for your exchange and then a separate thread for each round of the exchange. If you have any questions, you can contact me anytime.

@fgorga Thank you very much for redoing the prints and sending them again, that is very generous!

I think we can call the 5th round of this exchange a success, all prints sent and optimistic to arrive!

I have posted the invitation for the 6th round here today:

Thank you all for participating and all the Best for a Healthy and Happy 2021!

Thanks for that info.

I'll need a bit of a rest after I finish my current project (coordinating a group portfolio of prints), but I'll see about organizing something in a few weeks.

You are quite welcome. By coincidence, I just returned after taking my replacement prints to the UPS drop off point to find your message here. (I'm not sure I'll trust the US post office again for a while after this holiday season.Hopefully, UPS will be more reliable.)

I look forward to the next round!

We could start with a regional swap between Nh and Maine.

Well, we could ;-) ... but I think that I will try to organize an "ink on paper" print exchange here, modeled after this one. Give me a few weeks and watch for an announcement.
