Submitting MF Transparencies

I'm making my first magazine submittal and need to know how MF

transparencies are typically submitted.

The submission guidelines require each transparency to be labled with

the photographer's name, address, the location of the shot and provide

caption information. The transparencies are also required to be

sleeved. These guidelines are easy to understand for mounted 35mm

transparencies but don't address unmounted MF transparencies. The

guidelines say MF is accepted.

So, what is the typical method for submitting MF transparencies that

provides the required information?

Alex,

You need to mount your MF transparencies before making a submission.

You can buy mounts at many pro camera stores or check with Light Impressions.

I had mounts made at a local printery using heavy-weight black card stock with outer dimensions of 4 X 5 inches and a die-cut window that is slightly smaller than the dimensions of the transparency. I tape the sleeved tranny to the back of the mount using acid free tape (Filmoplast P90). I affix a computer generated caption label using Boyd Norton's NSCS Pro slide management program.

I store and submit my mounted transparencies in Print File Archival Plus slide pages.

When making a submission be sure to include a delivery memo and follow the magazines submission requirements to the letter.

They make MF mounts several film format sizes and several card format sizes. They also provide samples if you are not in a hurry.
