Would those color PDF's be e-mailed directly to Kinkos or would I receive them myself? Since I have a color laser, it's really cheap for me to print out color ships for my own use.Steve Cole wrote:Maybe. Color is expensive, and you either pay a dollar a page for short runs or you pay tens of thousands of dollars for thousands of copies. I don't see us selling thouands of copies of a $125 middle years book.
At some point, we might be able to offer very expensive short runs of color stuff, or sell color PDFs and let you go pay Kinkos a fortune to print and laminate them.

Sure you can, you just have to go...real...slow....

The DDM is something somebody talked me into, the theory being it was the original first DD and that the DD-FJ was a "ready for war refit" that didn't work out as well as hoped and then the DD+ refit came along making it a viable ship.
The MidYear ships are being done on the computer in color (even if Briefing #2 is in black and white) so selling them later as color (print or PDF) won't be any more than an administrative decision. We won't have to do B&W cards over again.

One day, then.. color middle years. I'm signed up for those, however they become available.
Meanwhile, Briefing 2 will have to do.

I'm wrestling with the counter issue.
What I want to do is to print a sheet of counters and punch them out and put them into boosters 91-95.
Nobody around here likes that. too much hand labor.
Possibility is to include the entire sheet in 91 (raising cost to cover that) or perhaps in Hydran Attack.
Problem is next sheet publication is June, so no booster 91-95 until then if we go with the "punch them out and put them in each booster" idea.
Don't even mention "sell the boosters now and the sheet by mail order later" idea. Minimum print run is 1000 and maximum mail order sale is 200, so we'd lose money, a lot of money. If we cannot move the sheet into the stores, we cannot print it.
