Hello, Exchange #50 people. If those last few sets of promised prints aren't here by Wednesday, it will be too late. I have to start wrapping up this job. I'm finishing the small archival boxes for all of you who are in the exchange, and by Thursday, if that's done (and I'm assuming it will be), I'm starting to package up everything.

I heard this suggestion about sizing paper from someone ...
somewhere ... and thought 'how clever' so I'm just passing it along as
a possibility.

The idea was to use a painter's roller to dampen paper before printing
but perhaps it would work with sizing as well.

Feel free to lambast the idea if it's a silly one. I will admit to
liking it's sort of 'out of the box'-ness.

Posted by: Dave Bull

After a weekend of printing the story sheets (on my Epson laser), and the backboards (on a large Epson inkjet), we're ready to get packing and shipping.

I say 'we', but I mean they! Printer trainees Tsushima-san and Ishigami-san set aside their barens today (and will again tomorrow) for a packing day. In recent months, I have been doing this job by myself, but that doesn't really make much sense, I think.

So although the three of us spent the day in the workshop together today, I kept to my carving bench, where I finished up the key block for the new year print, and the two ladies set up the large table on the back wall and started wrapping. I used my new 'time lapse' camera to capture their day, and here are a few scenes it caught.

They worked from left to right, Tsushima-san preparing the print and paperwork, then passing it to Ishigami-san for wrapping and labelling:
