Spore prints size and trading.

Mods please move if in incorrect forum.
Easy questions, I searched but no straight answers
Are all prints equel when it comes to trading?
Do 3 dime sized prints = 3 prints or are 3 dime sized prints on one piece of foil = one print?
What do you consider a decent, tradeworthy, sized print? Am I the only one who thinks prints on paper are completely worthless?

Size is nowhere near as important as cleanliness and quality, IMO.

I can only second your statement Doc!
Although I've successfully cultivated several strains from prints on paper, it was always a pain in the ass, seeing all the paper particles floating in the syringe.
As if it was a problem to print on alcohol wiped tin foil
Anyway, this, for example was a print very early in my cultivation "career" and I was about to complain about it, when I thought: Give it a try. It had the size of a dime and looked like it consisted of about 10 spores.

But very fast I noticed, that the size doesn't really matter (at least when it comes to prints ).
What came out was this:

So other then the general consensus that paper blows monkeys, folk are ok with small prints of normal Cube strains?

Small, clean, sincere prints are fine for trading. Really, you only need a few spores to make a good microscope slide- the rest is just pretty wrapping.

i like big cube prints. but exotics are a different story. Most exotics mushrooms are tiny.

I guess everyone would choose a big and dark print over something small and light. But it's absolutely not necessary for prints to be big and dark. There should be enough spores even on VERY light prints to make a syringe and knock up several jars of substrate with it.
