Trimming paper

Renee,

Sounds like you just about have it figured out! I just want to mention one thing, the printer will usually trim paper for you. I just did our Christmas cards, had 125 printed up and he trimmed them to 10x7" size. He charges $1 per cut, even if you have 125 of something. So, four cuts for four sides equals just $4 for all that cutting. They have a big machine that can cut 100's of pages at once. I had to quickly xerox 20 more cards to send out so I took my card stock to him and he cut those 20 for me. (They score and fold paper too.)

I just wanted you to know that you wouldn't have to cut each brochure by hand. Kinko's here in Houston also cuts paper for the same cheap price. It sounds like you don't need this info now, but maybe someday it'll come in handy while you're designing your own brochures or cards.

Happy Holidays,
Joan
