You'd be surprised how close to traditional monochrome printing costs full colour is these days. I work for a printing firm. I know how much more than b/w we charge for colour. You may well find you have competition undercutting you. Possibly. We've marked ourselves as a premium service for some years. Actually, in fairness, I don't know how much we'd charge for job like this - it's way beyond what we usually do; it's not within the area in which we specialise. |

You'd be surprised how close to traditional monochrome printing costs full colour is these days. Are you talking about professional printing (where the setup costs make up a large percentage of the total will be the same for both) or DIY photocopying? ITYF that DIY colour photocopying is still 10 times the cost of B/W. tim |

ITYF that DIY colour photocopying is still 10 times the cost of B/W. Printing to what was more than a professional standard only a few years ago has been greatly de-skilled by digital technology. It is true that the highest quality work is still best performed by traditional technology. -- Colin Rosenstiel |
