swittmann · May 16, 2011

It occurs to me that I need more time to decide which negative to print than actually printing it

Rüdiger, thank you very much for organizing this.

Sandra, that is what happens to me all the time. And I think it is pretty common amongst postcarders. At least for this round I think I already found *my* negative. No pinhole this time - promised.

Cheers

Rudiger, in again for the max.

Oh....I wish I had a darkroom....

Begs the question, does one need a darkroom or can people without one just go to the lab and get prints made?

Everything is OK as long as the initial media is a traditional one. So no digital capture.

I know...but I'd like the output to be as analog as possible, so still trying to suss out some places that can do it for me. Still have a couple of weeks to go, so hopefully something will work out.

hpulley · May 17, 2011

I'll be printing in my darkroom of course. Around here no one does optical prints in the labs, just scan and print sadly.

Now that I'm printing RA-4 I even have to think about color... decisions, decisions... I've cut down a pile of Ektacolor Supra that I could use. I thought it might be too thin but Rob's Fuji CA print came through the mail great so I might copy him and do a color one, we'll see.

Harry:

If you print your information on moderately large Avery style adhesive labels, the labels themselves add a lot of structural integrity to the cards.

That's a good point! Rob's label was so big I couldn't tell which Fuji CA paper he'd used as there was very little 'blank' space on the back. Thanks for that idea.

That said, I still might shoot B&W on 10x15cm Ilford Postcard Pearl (Portfolio) or 5x7" MGFB or MGWTFB... color/B&W, which negative, from what camera, on what paper, too many possibilities!

I've had to go this route on several exchanges due to a lack of a darkroom. And for the last round, I ended up printing the card myself as not one lab could give me a decent B&W print without a magenta/green/red etc cast.

I too prefer printing my B&W the traditional way - the colour though gets sent to a lab - and these days, finding a lab here in BKK that *can't* make a decent colour print is almost impossible!

brchambe · May 19, 2011

Ruediger, I'm in for the max. Same vitals as before.

Cheers, Brian Chambers

Lieber Rüdiger,

da wir so eine kleine Runde sind - kannst du meinen Beitrag auf 25 Karten erhöhen?

(Can you please sign in me for 25 instead of 20?)

rst · May 25, 2011

Done.

Valerie · May 25, 2011

Please change mine to the max!
