Cynthia, Yes, the left hand panel with the little girl, is the front page of the brochure. I also printed about 100 business cards with the same border. I, too, was torn between that design and a plain white with a blue border, but figured I'd try it this time. I can always change it for the next run.

Darla, It did not take long to set the brochure up and it is saved to file in my Print Artist program. I am able to change photo images so as new portraits are completed I will use them in the old one's place.

My printer which I always wanted anyway, cost about $300. but I would have bought it even without the brochure job. The ink is the usual cost, $35- $40. and I got about 40 brochures and 100 business cards not to mention all sorts of other color prints ( did not keep track) from the first cartridges. HP cartridges are known for lasting the longest. I fold and label and stamp, while I watch tv.

I sent one to friends to test them and they said the tri-fold came through the mail looking good.

I plan to send a "Get ready for the holidays- Buy a Portrait Early" kind of brochure out next June or July, 2002.

Plus, the brochures will be left on a music stand in front of every month's exhibit along with my business cards and price list.

I actually enjoy the setting up and printing out part so I'd rather do it myself. This way I can edit whenever I feel like it.
