If we had nominally 8-10 >ads even at $250 per ad, there is half the cost already, and one cannot >convince me that it cost less than $2500 per issue with that duotone >cardstock cover. I used to print 900 copies and it did not cost that much... more like $1.50 an issue like I said. But, I am curious. David, what do the receipts from Universal printers show. There should be some bills for $1400 and some for $2300 (one sheet of color). The price of $3-5K sounds pretty good for full color... especially $3K. .. and expecially since BB's had much larger print runs which also yield lower unit prices. At this price, full color is a no brainer. I understood that BB printed around 2000 copies. Getting over 1200-1500, the price per issue becomes trivial. Regarding dues increase, I dont support an immediate increase. I think we owe it to our original members to keep the dues at $15 for a while.... I suggest 6 months. That way they will hear about an increase after they get 2 new issues of TAG.
