Does anyone have plans they've used to construct their own Print Rack?
Thank you,

I'm thinking of building something like this with 2x4's, plywood, and nails. Then I would stain it. The front gate would be slightly smaller, which is why it would require the trapezoid shape base.

I've always liked the idea of these racks, but the only problem is when it comes to standing the prints up with foam core is that the heavier inked prints would fall down pretty easily.

The narrow bottoms make it so only a few will fit in them too. I'm trying to figure out a good solution for that. Also, thinking of making a wall-mounted version. Have you seen one like that?
Thank you,
