Thanks everyone for your ideas on and off list for storing large prints. For the time being I'm hanging them on the back of my studio door with some skirt hangers and strips of foam core as suggested by Barbara Mason. Here's a photograph on Flickr:

This will tide me over while I'm looking into other solutions that will be more long term.
I love the Baren Forum.

Any stencil brush will do. I buy the cheap ones too.
The wrapped chopstick works really well and it eliminates the finger prints you can get tapping in (tho that's a form of signing your work, right?). ;-]

Hello,
I'm a new member. I've always loved Japanese woodblock prints, although I haven't worked muchwith wood.
I've done most of my printmaking (mostly etchings, monoprintsand linocuts) in school and now I'm working through the transition of moving from classes to setting up my own studio, joining a collaborative studio or renting studio time. Starting today, I have four months between jobs to do as much printmaking asI canand to figure outwhat I can aboutexhibiting and selling my work. Then I'm back to my unrelated career.
Ijust moved to Cambridge, MA and if anyone lives in the area, I'd love to meet up with other printmakers here. I'm also excited to make new friends onlineand I'm really looking forward to print exchanges as a way to focus and inspire my work. I just figured out there was such a thing tonight and when I searched for them I discovered Baren. Dragonswere a favorite subject in my youth, so I'm already looking forward to next year'sChinese New Year's exchange.
