[NSRCA-discussion] Hardcopy K-Factor

[Scott McHarg]

The cost changes based on how big the issue is and how many we print.  We
mail out approximately 135 monthly.  I usually print 150 copies so that I
have extras to go to the show in Ontario and the WRAM show to be
distributed.  As an example, a 20 page (we usually run between 20-26 pages)
K-Factor, printed and mailed out to 135 people is just over $1000.  The
bigger the issue, the more likely it is to get to about $1200 for that
issue.  When we were mailing out 400+ copies, you can imagine how much
money it was costing us monthly.

The problem with the list serv is that there are quite a few folks that are
not members that would be receiving your K-Factor.  Of course, it'd be easy
enough to create a new list with members only but that's just something
else to consider.  The mailing would be fairly large as well.  The "low
res" copy is about 4.5Mb.  The "high res" version would be difficult to
mail out due to SPAM definitions and size issues for each mail service that
we all use.  Most don't allow attachments that large but some do.
