the only other that I know of is Art on Paper. I've only picked up a few
copies at newstands, sometimes it's good, sometimes not. they do have a
website:
http://www.artonpaper.com

sometimes the best magazines are the ones published by the print councils...

Thought I'd take time from my framing slavery to chime in with my favorite
publications (heretofore referred to as "pubs). Printmaking Today is a solid
little pub. I enjoy it although it is a UK pub with emphasis on UK. By the
time I get my copy most of the deadlines for calls for entries are long
gone. Still a good read.

Printmaking Today
Cello Press Limited
Office 10 spinners Court'
55 West End
Witney
Oxon OX 28 INH
United Kingdom

Art On Paper is my favorite, sorry to disagree with Jim B. One of the only
magazines I enjoy reading cover to cover as soon as it hits my mail-box.
www.artonpaper.com

Contemporary Impressions pub by the American Print Alliance is a good
publication, sometimes a bit stuffy for my taste but definitely a good read.
www.printalliance.org

If you are into wood engraving, I highly recommend the Wood Engravers
Network with the publication "Block & Burin" and the Society of Wood
Engravers with their publication "Multiples." A charming pub on wood
engraving also with U.K. emphasis but lovely nonetheless.
Both accessed through http://www.woodengravers.net/

If you are looking for sources for calls for entries for printmakers can be
found in Art Calendar, Art Deadlines, and Art Deadline (talk about shameless
scooping of trade name). Of those, Art Deadlines, the original, is my
favorite and has the most opportunities for works on paper. Once you start
entering competitions, you will get showered every year through direct mail
as well.

Thanks to everyone who responded both on and off line about magazines 
oriented to printmaking. Now I must count my coins and make subscription 
decisions !!!

Cheers ...... Charles

I must defend Printmaking Today!

Cello Press Limited/Printmaking Today
99 - 101 Kingsland Road
London E2 8AG
United Kingdom

I've written several articles for them, so I think they're great. I wrote
one a few years ago on Japanese woodcut, then one on digital printing, and
also a review of Rebecca Salter's book on Hanga. And besides my own fabulous
articles, I find many other interesting items: I like it being more
international in outlook. That inches to centimeters thing stretches the
brain!

Art on Paper is probably more serious, with excellent coverage of prints and
work on paper, but it's focus is on the finished work, not on technical
information.

April,
I only recently resubscribed after a couple of years off and I was just not
as excited about it as I was a few years ago. Maybe it is just those
particular issues and I will be more excited about it in the future...I
didn't mean to say it was not good, just more geared toward the UK.
Best to all,
Barbara
