www.fsre.nl got a revamp a month or so ago. I was on the other day and saw they had a shortage of prints. Now they are totally out. Please send yours in!
I am doing my bit. I have found an easier way for me to print after reading comments that most people find ziploc bags to be contaminant free. They are not guaranteed sterile but are clean due to the manufacturing process.
I opened a little used room in my house sprayed the air with disinfectant, got latex gloves wiped down with ISO, and a scissors wiped with alcohol. I then opened a tray of these.

I then cut the heads off very quickly collecting them all in my other hand and dumped them into a large ziploc bag. Then I opened up the smaller ones and shook some into each. I then moved them about so the all faced down. Some may not print, and they are small, but so what, if you can see spores you have enough for a syringe. Heres a pic of about 40 bags.

They say they are clean since they are heated up when sealing etc. I had the same idea as you though, the less I handle them in the air the better, it is far quicker too. I would always recommend using very light spore syringes with traded prints, less likely to suck up a contam if one is there.
It also is easy to use the print in the bag with no glove box. You get a syringe full pulled out but with only about 8cc in it. Squirt 1/2cc in the bag and suck it back out, since you have 4cc of empty space in a 12cc syringe you should be able to suck up every last drop. The bag itself acts as the glove box

Yep just enough, should get at least 10 even from a small print. I say 1/2cc but just put a single drop down massage it with the bag and suck up and shake your syringe well.

The only problem with that method Blackout is the dirty tops of the caps touching the bag. A lot of contamination on those caps. But, good luck anyways....

The caps is true, I will swab the caps and plastic with a q-tip with alcohol.

I like to use half pint wide mouth jars to do prints in. It works real good too!

...But I guess that won't help the FSRE too much though. I think I'll do some regular prints and send them out that way. How much does postage run from the U.S. to Europe anyway?

Postage costs for letters:
Canada and Mexico are 60 cents.
Everything else is 80 cents.
