My feelings about how reasonable the number of setups we count for this
job is aside, we're not going to change the prices between now and when
LSC needs cards, and this does answer my questions, so I've explained
the pricing structure to the relevant LSC folks.
As to Len's question about LSC membership cards, I don't remember the
last time we printed them, and I forgot to look again when I was in the
office, but it was years ago, and as I said in my original e-mail here,
they've been printing those cards themselves on their own press or on
a laser printer and copier, 6-up, for years, and it's probably cheaper
for them to continue doing it. The one real thing we have going for us
if we're going to take them for 6 setup fees for that small number of
cards is that we can print on Jersey cards instead of the thinner flimsy
stock they use for membership cards these days.
