Yes No

Have you ever bought any prints from the Contact Printers Guild?

Yes No

The Contact Printers Guild only sells contact prints (made from negatives the size of the final print, i.e. no enlargements). Is this a major reason why you collect our work?

Yes, it's what sets you apart Not really, I'd also be interested in enlargements The type of print (contact print or enlargement) is irrelevant to me, it's the image that matters

What importance do you place on the type of print, i.e. do you care that a print is an Azo print, platinum/palladium etc., or is the image itself the most important thing?

The type of print (Azo, platinum/palladium etc.) is the most important thing The type of print matters somewhat but it's not the most important thing The type of print doesn't really matter; what attracts me is the actual image

Which of the following magazines do you read regularly? (To select multiple answers, hold Ctrl and click.)
