Hello again! One other quick question- would these print racks be ok for a first time art fair seller? I know Pro Panel bins would be best but can't afford those right off the bat. Thanks everyone:)
Hey all, just wanted to let you know that I just found these at Blick's for $20 cheaper for small, medium and large! Here's the link: http://www.dickblick.com/products/richeson-black-canvas-print-racks/ - I'm a Blick shopper personally, but I do always check Jerry's and a couple of other places before my purchases, just in case, and Jerry's is usually just about the same prices as Blick. I'm surprised that there's such a big discrepancy on this item...

I was next to a jeweler this weekend who had sheer-ish hanging banners as a backdrop to her jewelers cabinets and displays. Very pretty. Clearly she had no need of panels but it really made the point to me that panels are good for hanging heavy frames but are bad for air circulation in the booth. Mine was an oven, hers was a pretty breezeway.
There's nothing wrong with that print bin. Anything goes as long as it looks neat and professional looking. Much better than a card table covered with a sheet and plastic milk cartons filled with unframed prints. Just kidding, though I've seen it all.
Yes, Scott is right. That is exactly where I found the bins. I only found them one other place cheaper, but that place required a yearly membership to purchase anything.
Thanks Connie! I feel better about my lack of Pro Panels. I can get OCD about getting things "just right". Glad to hear these print racks look ok. I'm going to try to go into this as professionally (but reasonably) as I can. Thanks again:)

I'm going to say it again, Ila. Pro Panels are not the "end all and be all" in this business. Something that is clean, neat and that works for you is absolutely fine. This is a very nice print rack and you will see artists using it at the very best shows.
Don't know how much time you have, but search around on this site for booth images and you'll see all kinds of bins. I am bored with pro panel products -- who has carpeted walls in their homes? who has carpeted tables? make your booth look like the place where you want your work to be displayed.

Can someone please tell me which racks these are? I'm a newbie too and I'd like to get some reasonably priced ones...
Great - thank you Scott!!
I use those racks in my tent!
