Toymods should start up a cheap paper magazine to sell... Very Happy

<snip>


What about a monthly/bi monthly email magazine, done in PDF format and sent to anyone who subscribes? that way it could be in colour, there are no printing costs and no mailing costs.


there are heaps of costs (dollar wise and time) associated with doing this:
-you still have to all the layout, source the scans, write the articles etc
-you need decent software (quark/indesign/photoshop/acrobat) to do this well
-you run up an enourmous bandwidth bill sending hi-res PDFs
-you piss of broadband users by filling mailboxes with extremely large email attachments
-you piss off dailup users by forcing them to download huge files or to make thefile small enough to take a reasonable time to download you compress and downsample the crap out of the images so they're next-to-useless
-you have to maintain a large repository of PDF files online

at my work (a gov't department) we've settled on PDFs limited to 250K and converting newsletters to a combined email with story summaries and links to a part of the web site with more text and pictures.

im my experience (and i've been doing this since '92), there is no 'cheap' magazine or newsletter solution

towe_001: most decent and printable recycled paper is imported and/or expensive. And most australian recycled paper is for carboard boxes and toilet paper. If you want 'green' paper, go for plantation+recycled, non-chlorine bleached, oz-made, coated paper.

I do the Toyota Car Club Qld newsletter and it's lots of work (from grand ideas, writing, searching, thru to organsing copying), i'd expect that the toymod's club newsletter (if it has one?) is a simialr struggle to get out each month. I'm sure that the toymods club would appreciate help and contributions Smile
