Re: get color overlay to work?

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Be aware that extensive color printing will be fairly
pricey using color lasers. I get a fair amount of static
from customers when they need to buy new cartridges.

Lexmark and HP developed a real revenue stream selling
this stuff.

Preprinted forms are going to be a good bit cheaper than
printing "in house".

An example is a Lexmark C522 color laser. To do a total
reload on cartridges costs just over $400. When you consider
that the printer only costs $400, that's a a pretty stiff
price to pay.

Why not buy the forms with "just" the color logo and
everything else blank ??? You do the rest with DDS.
