I already looked at this when I was editing the newsletter; this big
issue is cost: printing a 16-page newsletter in b/w costs less than $1
per copy; printing the same newsletter in full color costs about $16
per copy. (BTW: this is why the custom calendars that I do every year
are so pricey.)
Another part of the problem is that, to make it look more professional,
we print it on 11x17" paper, which is then folded in half. How many of
you out there with ink-jet printers at home can print on that size
paper?
I looked at this when I was doing the newsletter, to see if maybe it
would be possible to have Kinko's print the b/w parts of the
newsletter, then just add the color parts (cover and photos) with an
ink-jet; I now have a printer with an 11" carriage, but you're talking
about a lot of extra work now. In addition to the additional printing,
the production crew would now have to go back to folding the
newsletter, something that Kinko's was able to do for us. I don't know
about y'all, but I don't have that kind of free time any more.

Re[2]: Newsletter in living color!
If I remember right, the Arizone newsletter is one page printed on both
sides, so it is not comparable.

Two 8 1/2 x 17 pages printed on both sides, lots of pictures, nice
layout of the pages. I'll try to bring them to the repack for all to
see. - Hugh
