Speaking as a paperboy for 4 years -- these printouts are not designed to be seen by the customers. In my case, they were never printed on recycled paper, but they were shoddily printed, hard to read dot-matrixy paper with alternating green/white color bars across them. The 'toppers' basically just had number of papers, and any complaints/adds/drops from the customers. They're not meant for the general population, so they have nothing to do with image. Do warehouses complain if the boxes that their products arrive from China in have odd markings on them? Do the customers care? -- Christopher Schmidt Web Developer _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
