Printing booklet

Thanks for all the help. I called Kinko's and they want 400 buck to print the booklet. I will have to talk to wife about re-thinking how we are preparing the project. Again, Thanks for the help. John

MY HEAVENS!!! What are you getting done that they want $400 for 75 booklets?
I get a newsletter printed for a little over half of that. I get 255 copies,
black and white, double-sided on 11x17, saddle-stitched, folded and tabbed.

No color, that was for b&w. They said that it was 2000 copies and that was the price I was qouted. I just need to shop around a little and I bet I can find a better price. Kinko's was the first place I tried. John

no...my wife wants color!

JoAnn,

The way I read it was, the booklet is 50 or 60 pages and he (his wife) needs
2000 booklets.

That's 15 sheets of paper per booklet, times 2000 booklets for $400.

It comes out to be 1.3333333¢ per page. I charge my lodge 5¢ per page.
(and I lose money on every sheet, but make it up in the volume). G

Could be, but he typed: "We are going to print about 75 copies."

Or, if you believe him, 15 sheets of paper per booklet, times 75
booklets for $400. That's about 17.5¢ per click, assuming a click for
each side. Not a bad price for color, but given the volume, it doesn't
sound like a great deal.

It is 75 copies. After getting home and thinking about it, it only about 15 to 20 sheets of paper per booklet. That would still total about 1500 sheets...still alot of printing. I printed a 8 page sample when I got home using the manual duplex mode and it worked...I would still hate to print 1200 sheets of paper. John

75 copies of a 15 - 20 sheet booklet in colour for $400 is a damn good deal
compared to the printing prices over here.
Like everything else, colour printing in the UK is twice/three times as much
as it is in the US (Maybe it's the addition of the U in colour)
