Hey all, I'm just trying my first Lith's this weekend. How do I join in this, other than saying "I'm in"!?

that is the ONLY way to join welcome to the exchange, and enjoy practising. it takes a while to get it under control...

Aris,

you're in for some fun! And a lot of splashing about in semidarkness, snatching at wet things (does this sound like Gollum in The Hobbit?).

 

[gurkenprinz]

[David William White]

Super. Warming my trays...

 

[Jerevan]

Yeah, I am warming up for a session in the dark during the coming week. If anyone else from the other groups wants to do a print exchange, drop me a pm and we'll sort it out.

I've tried to get some response from Sean regarding the lith print exchange forum, but nothing is happening.

 

[mike c]

Sent return addressee's,now to start the prints .

 

[paul_c5x4]

Apologies to the guys in group 4 - I'm currently up to my neck in work and struggle to grab computer time during breaks. It is going to be a blood bath here for the next two weeks, but I will get contact details out when things have died down.

 

[gurkenprinz]

Hey Paul,

no problem, always the same before christmas.. My prints are already drying, I will send them out when I have your contact details!

 

[rst]

Prints already drying ... tztztz.

My prints will definitely go out next year. But at least I know exactly which negative I will print and that is usually the most time consuming part

Cheers
Ruediger

 

[mike c]

Still goofing around with mine,should be ready the 1st of the year (2011).

Mike

 

[sly]

Definitely won't get into the darkroom before Christmas, and the chances aren't very good for the rest of this year. I'm hoping for early January.

 

[gurkenprinz]

Thank you, dear Print Exchangers, for making me try out new things. I had my first try at dry-mounting last night - and destroyed only one of 8 prints . So, my 3 little lithprints are going out next week. That is, if I can still move after the great lunch, dinner & cookie-fest that the christmas weekend usually turns out to be..

About being late: nobody should worry, running a little late is a tradition in APUG exchanges . I just thought that being an organiser for the first time I should get my act together.

This just leaves me to wish you a joyful christmas time together with your loved ones!

Greetings from Vienna,
Chris

 

[mike c]

I will be out of town for xmas and maybe no computer, so wish you people a Merry Christmas.

Mike

 

[David William White]

Mine went out today. USA should be pretty quick, but to Sweden will maybe take 2 weeks.

 

[Jerevan]

Sounds good, David!

Me, I am just hoping to get back into the lith printing business on monday.

 

[rst]

Me too!

Cheers and a Happy New Year
Ruediger

 

[gurkenprinz]

Mine went out today, too!

Happy new year,

Chris

 

[sly]

Have finished my prints. Will package them and have them in the mail in the next day or so. Looking forward to seeing the work the others on my group are doing.

 

[ghostcount]

Hey Sly,

My prints are done too, just waiting on matboards and dry mount tissues. The on-line supplier packaged the mats incorrecty and the borders were all crushed. Getting new ones soon. I'm looking forward to seeing your print - I've seen your gallery posts and they are quite impressive.

 

[mike c]

Think I have mine done ,but don't know if I'm going to tone'em yet.Don't think I'll mount them,they are on 11x14 paper and if they get bent it would ruin them.
Mike

 

[ccross]

Hello all,

My prints went out on Friday, might take a while to get around the world though. Hope you enjoy!
