-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The reason we wanted to go with a stamp was because up until now the discs have been hand labeled. Unfortunately, due to the high number of requests, hand labeling is no longer as feasible as it once was. The reason we are considering the use of a stamp is also because it's cheap. We've considered ordering preprinted discs, but it's not cheap, or at least not as cheap. Sure, it makes a great first impression, but I don't believe that the added cost is worth it. I don't recalled what the price was when I last looked, but it was at least $0.20 more per disc than we are currently paying. PG will shortly be acquiring an 11 disc duplicator which will be capable of outputting as many as 66 discs an hour. So, obviously, labeling will become an even bigger issue than it already is. In addition, John Hagerson is already using a robotic duplicator with which he is able to burn and verify 50 discs per day. Many of our other volunteers who mail smaller quantities will likely still use hand labeling, but for myself and possibly John, a stamp would save a lot of work. Of course any donations of good quality discs are always welcome, whether they are preprinted or not, but so far it hasn't happened. Although, to be fair, we have never looked for such a donation either. Sincerely Aaron Cannon At 07:51 PM 4/26/2006, you wrote:

Has anyone checked into getting a few thousand blank disks screen printed by a professional printing outfit?
This is probably an optimal solution, especially if one of the companies can be convinced to donate them. _______________________________________________ gutvol-d mailing list gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org http://lists.pglaf.org/listinfo.cgi/gutvol-d
