In prior discussions, there was an option to have Y3U3 printed by a TOG customer who has a printing business (at .05/page?). There was some talk about letting TOG/Lampstand know & TOG would handle requests, take payment info, etc. Orders would then be relayed to the printer in weekly batches by TOG??

Is this still an option?

I am extremely interested, even if it means extra cost & that I'll receive an additional copy when the 450 goal is reached.

What do I need to do to get on a list to get a printed copy PRIOR to the 450 goal(in other words, ASAP)? You see, I'm one of those people who really needs to not sit in front of my computer all the time, & I like portability of printed units.

Thanks!

From the 12/21 newsletter:
One of our very own Tapestry customers has stepped forward to help all of you with this desire. Lampstand Press is now prepared to gather orders for individual units to be printed on demand. Since these are not large runs, the price is higher than Lampstand Press’s printer prices, but still significantly lower than your nearby copy shop’s. For $.05/impression (side of a page) you can get a full-color printed copy of a unit shipped inside of two weeks. Unit lengths vary, but their average length is around 500 pages; this is a cost of about $25/unit, plus shipping charges. These printings are done using color Xerox technology, not offset printing. Therefore, there are differences of paper and “sheen” in the finished product. There are also no “bleeds” using this technique; however, in examining the sample copy, we found that the tab feature of the print-out was of comparable use to the bleeds that offset techniques offered. Because this is being done for you as a favor, our printer friend has asked that we protect his time. Thus, as a service to you and him, Lampstand Press will field all customer inquiries and orders for printed units, and send these to the printer in weekly batches. Your charge card will be processed by Lampstand Press, and you can call us with questions about this option. This service is now ready for use. To place your order for a printed unit, please call Lampstand Press during regular business hours.

I believe the folks at Lampstand are on break, but you can leave a message or call when they return (1/2/09 )

Thanks, Karen.
Somehow, I missed that final sentence.
