How do I get my print to be perfectly placed in the middle each time?
Navigating this might feel like a puzzle, I get it, especially considering you have to do it a dozen times! But no worries, we’ve conjured up an easy-peasy print-at-home registration guide, tailor-made for awesome folks like you. Grab yours right here – just make sure to pick the paper size that jives with your trusty home printer.

Can I share my work in progress and final images online via social media before sending the final prints to you?
Absolutely, without a doubt! Let the news travel like a rumour in a small town. Inform your buddies, your mom, your next-door pals – shout it from the rooftops! Let’s transform this into a truly communal extravaganza. Please tag @sally_printmaker and @mixed_incs  so we don’t miss it.

Use the fancy collaborate option on Instagram with @mixed_incs and you’ll pop up on that dedicated page. 

Do you have an exchange-specific hashtag?
#printpalooza #px26 

Do you have an Instagram page to collaborate with?
Yes, we are encouraging everyone to collaborate and feature their process and artwork images with  mixed_incs. Remember to make sure you tag both sally_printmaker and Mixed Inc. to get featured.

How do I package my prints?
Clearly, write your full name on ‘something’ included with your prints to make the INGLESIDE STUDIOS job a little easier when collating. Then ensure your prints are dry.

Interleave, don’t wrap, do not tape, just slide a piece of glassline paper between each print. We don’t wish for any extra packaging or to wrangle your print as we collate. Pop in a sturdy envelope to ensure the postal fairies don’t crush it and post it off to us!

Can I print more than 12 and then sell them privately?
Absolutely, no doubt about it! Your creations are like VIPs in their own right, and you’re just letting a dozen of them strut their stuff in the cool crowd that’s all about this print exchange scene.

Can I set my own price for the sale of my print at the end-of-year exhibition?
While this would be ideal, sorry, no. With more than 100 printmakers to herd, the formula is this.

Your original entry fee + gallery commission = magic number.

You will be notified that your piece has been sold and you automatically get free entry into next year’s exchange! 

Can I submit more than one print?
You betcha! Here’s the scoop: each print needs a posse of twelve identical twins. But hold onto your artistic beret, because here’s where it gets quirky – you’ll only get a cool 10 prints back for each of your masterpieces unless you decide to take an encore and sign up again.

That’s when the print party doubles up! And don’t worry, I’ve conjured up just the right amount of postage mojo for one set per registration – mail magic, you know!

I would love to see everyone’s work when you have collated them. Will there be an online archive?
Our team will work together to capture photographs of each piece, subject to your permission, and subsequently, feature them in an online gallery. This initiative aims to document the global activities within the printmaking community for this year. It’s important to mention that a few artists have opted out of displaying their art online, so their pieces won’t be included.

When you return our prints will I be able to track my parcel?
In a perfect world, this would be wonderful! However, here at Ingleside Studios, we’re working hard to make sure everyone can join in without breaking the bank and feeling left out. To include tracking for all envelopes, our team felt the cost would exclude some artists. If you’re open to chipping in an extra $AU30 for a tracked envelope, kindly shoot an email to Sally here, and she’ll help you get everything sorted. Your support means a lot!

I need to pull out of the exchange for any number of reasons, can I get a refund? 
Sorry, no ticket back to Refundsville, but here’s the deal: shoot me an email at printmaker@castondesign.com to give me the lowdown. Your entry fee will then go onto a new adventure – straight into the donation pot for our chosen charity this year. Trust me, they’re gonna give you a virtual high-five.

How will I know whose prints are who’s? 
Ingleside Studios as the team collates the prints you will be able to view the images online with full bios.  These details are from the entry form that was originally filled out. This will include the artist’s name, their location [no addresses will be included], social media tags, website and bio.

Can the print for the exchange be rectangular, for example, 2″ x 3″ or does it need to be square?
Great question. As long as it sits in the print space of 3.9″ x 3.9″ it can be any size or shape. See the gallery for examples.
