Can someone respond to this post with the link to the thread that shows how to pack prints?? I just received a print from someone that I may buy an additional print from and the packing job was sub par. The print was rolled and stuffed into a 2" tube without craft paper then placed in a 4" tube. It had edge dings. Rather than trying to describe how to do it I thought the guy might benefit from photos.

Assume you are talking about this one. I always found some of these steps to be overkill, but if you are dealing with someone who has no idea...probably better that was I guess.

That guide is way out of date. Make sure to use tissue paper or glassine over the print when you roll it.

I am all about overkill when it comes to shipping. Anything less...would be uncivilized.

Which was more lazy: your seller's packing job or your failure to utilize the search function rather than start a "help me I'm a useless millennial" thread?
