I cant believe I am about to get involved in this...
But for color printing, if its a short run, (under 500) go to your nearest copymax (inside of office max) and negotiate with the manager. Street pricing for 8 1/2 x 11 is usually around .89 to $1.09 each, but lie and tell them you have started your own business and that you want 'special pricing'. they will give you at least .69 cents a print on the color docucolor firey printer. (due to volume, I pay .12 each) Nowadays, the technology is such that there is little difference to the untrained eye between the firey and a 4 color press.
When the colony had their chartering celebration, they did 100 programs and they were full color on the outside and B&w inside. With the same pricing you'd get (.69 and often they run specials at .39) they paid $82.00 and that included the folding.
Definately agree on the find a graphic artist in the family that will hook ya up with the design and professional pricing as a gift. its what I always provide.
