I asked the editor of our chaper newsletter, The Prairie Blacksmith,
how he gets the issues printed.
  He uses the Media Center at the local college.  They run 100 copies of 
two sheets, (four pages) for 8.00 on a new A.B. Dick mimeo.  For 1.00 
more he can sometimes get them to collate them too.
  Seems to me to be pretty cheap.
  He runs the mailing labels on his home computer, and labels and stamps 
them, on the other hand, there arn't too many of us, and we are pretty 
spread out.
  Might give that solution a whirl, may take some persuasion, and maybe 
an iron rose, or wizard letter opener as a bribe, but it couldn't hurt to 
ask. :-) !

I'm putting together a newsletter myself for "The Metalworkers Guild".  First
time.  It will be about 20 pages (5 11x17 sheets printed on both sides) and all
of the layout will be done with pagemaker.  
To print it my plan is to take the electronic original on a syquest cartridge
to Kinko's Copies (I believe this is a national chain) where they have a Xerox
Docutech printer.  They can print this for 24 cents per double sided 11x17 if I
provide the paper.  If they provide the paper it is 42 cents per  double sided
11x17 page.  There is a $10 file transfer fee.  This seems to be a decent way
to go for a limited production newsletter.  Plus, since there isn't any
minimum, you can always return and have another batch printed without having to
invest a ton of money.
