Recently I posted an invitation to join a Circular Show of five of my
recent polymer photogravures; in so doing I asked only those seriously
interested to respond. Now, about a week later, four persons have signed
up. In view of the general interest in this new process expressed by
several list members, I am a bit surprised by this limited number of
sign-ups, causing me to think that my admonition about seriousness may have
scared interested parties away.
I shall therefore repeat my invitation to join in the proposed show, and
take the liberty to reprint my original posting:
"Hi everybody,
Over the past months the quality of polymer photogravure prints has
occasionally been discussed on this list. Since the technique is quite new,
only a very limited number of such prints have been produced, and many of
these probably with less than optimal procedures. Consequently, only a
small number of list members have had a chance to examine such prints, and
some of those prints that have been up for examination may even have been
of inferior quality.
After having been occupied for the last 6 or 8 months with working out
optimal procedures for the production of polymer photogravure prints, I
feel that I have now reached a stage where satisfactory prints may be
produced. Therefore the thought has occurred to me that it might be an
interesting enterprise to put up some of these latest prints for public
examination among members of this group; although I realize quite well that
my own level of expertise is by no means maximal, I _do_ feel that the
process as used by me is well worth an evaluation and a comparison to
related techniques.
I shall therefore propose to initiate a Circular Show comprising five of my
latest photogravures. Members of the list may sign up for this show by
personal e-mail to me before September 15. Participation in the show
implies obligation to mail the tube containing the prints to the next
member on the address list within a number of days to be determined from
the number of participants. The weight of tube plus prints amounts to close
to 700 grams; the postage will depend on where the next recipient is
located.
Anybody wishing further information on the polymer photogravure process is
invited to visit my Home Page."
