Platform Printing Comments
I purchased a high-volume, small business printer a month ago. The ink (and paper) does cost money, but I'm sure I could do 500 for $450. Ie, lower than Jim's motion.
The printer is owned by a small business, which I'm only a partial owner of. So that company, would have to invoice for cash, and charge GST.
This printer I have, outputs amazing quality. I also know the difference between a 'high-quality' print job on matte or glossy paper. I could do a proof for, say Jim's approval, before I ran the 300 off. --JNMcLarty 11:08, 24 February 2012 (EST)
Jim, I noticed you changed the 300 to 500. Only reason I quoted what I did, for 300, was because I know that their cost includes some component of minimum wage labour. I can basically, save the party from paying that - by volunteering my time. So, I can beat it by at least $10.25 x 6. After I do the first run, the cost could prove lower (say, if I only used 15% of the ink in the cartridges). But, if it costs me two cartridges of ink, well, I'd be doing it at a loss. This would not be right, for the other shareholders and bond holders. I updated the language above --JNMcLarty 10:42, 25 February 2012 (EST)

How long will 500 last? Ironically, we could lower our cost, and probably do a more effective job, if we reduced the word/page count.
As you've seen in the planning stages, I do have plans for completing a far more brief version of our platform. It's one of the first things in the schedule for the next election campaign. --JNMcLarty 12:09, 25 February 2012 (EST)
Quizes
This company in San Francisco will do 1000, for $14, then its $20 in shipping to Canada. Front and back, full-color, high gloss both sides.
It's identical, to my business cards - if you've seen those. Everybody always asks me "How much did you spend on these?"...cause they look, really nice, high-quality.
Just need to upload 2 photoshop files, online. Takes 2 to 3 days to ship. --JNMcLarty 11:08, 24 February 2012 (EST)
