Janet,

How well I know how upsetting this is! I use the self-serve
center of the only local print shop in the area and pay .14 per side for
11*17 paper. That's for copy costs only. I do all the collating and
labels for the envelopes, etc. On my last visit to print the Fall 97
issue of The Southside Researcher, I was told that they are upgrading the
equipment and will be increasing the copy costs.
My quarterly is $19.95 a year and I've steadily been trying to
upgrade and improve the quality of it and stay within my budget at the
same time. I've been wanting to do things like add sketches and art and
bind the issues in some type of cover that would be more durable and
attractive.
The one thing that I have found is that the local college in the
area charges .05 a side for 8.5*11 pages. If I don't have to give on
print quality, I may have to go this route instead. I thought that I
would add preparing the newsletter ahead with pre-punched holes so that
my subscribers could easily slip the issue into a binder.
What's the opinion on staples? Which is preferred: three staples
along the edge or one in the corner for a newsletter averaging 20 pages?
