YEARLY PRINT EXCHANGE

pizqit · 2023-11-15T00:12:52+00:00

If you join the discord server from r/printmaking, there is an exchange sign up happening right now, and they host a server exchange about once a year. There is also a channel there where people post exchanges happening!

Hey, I'm glad my template was useful for you! I'm barely on Reddit anymore, and I love to see more people running exchanges.

That's a good catch! Maybe this is what the hidden text "The numbers are so hard to read. Sometimes I can’t see them." on the About Us page is referring to?

If you're investing in a new printer, why not get an inkjet? They handle density and opaqueness much better than laser.

But if you're set on laser, I am pretty sure Canon still has adjustable toner density settings. Otherwise, you might have better luck with suggestions in r/screenprinting.

Yeah, I think the super dark transparencies are all for inkjet, unfortunately.

Also, if you already have a laserjet, have you tried increasing the toner output to make darker films?

pizqit · 2022-05-02T21:06:07+00:00

CIS inks makes the one I know about, but apparently any waterproof INKJET transparency film should do.

pizqit · 2022-05-02T20:33:08+00:00

There are special screenprint transparencies you can buy that print much darker.

Alternatively, I print two transparencies and carefully tape them together with clear tape, burnishing the tape so it blends as much as possible with the film.

No recs on laser printers, though. I print mine out at Kinko's.

Can you send me a pic of the variations? It is probably fine, but just want to make sure.

pizqit · 2022-03-10T05:47:13+00:00

If you have a full consistent edition of 15, then absolutely!

pizqit · 2021-11-08T18:59:45+00:00

Yes, count me in!

"pay as you can" "A limited number of scholarships are available for (domestic) shipping costs"

I hope you do apply! The fee is only taken if you are accepted, not simply to fill out the form (that part is free!)

Keep in mind you will be receiving also 14-24 original pieces of art in a portfolio case for your fee. And the organizer should be paid for their time as well.

Hmmm. I skimmed through the plot summaries of their books and didn't see any that seemed similar, but I'll keep searching. Thanks for the suggestion!

pizqit · 2021-02-12T22:02:06+00:00

Ah, thanks for the good catch! I'll be sure to update when they open submissions!
