An　all　W-type　state　task　is　put　forward:　joint　remote　state　preparation　of　a　W-type　state　via　W-type　states.　We　propose　two　probabilistic　yet　faithful　schemes　for　the　task.　The　first　scheme　uses　two　arbitrary　W-type　states　as　the　shared　quantum　resource　and　the　second　scheme　exploits　three　such　states.　We　show　that,　while　the　first　scheme　requires　some　additional　quantum　resource　and　technical　operations　from　the　receiver,　the　second　scheme　allows　any　completely　unequipped　party　to　play　the　role　of　receiver.　In　both　schemes　the　classical　communication　cost　is　one　bit　per　preparer.　Crown　Copyright　(C)　2010　Published　by　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
