Howdy Erik, recieved yer rate card today. Very nice. As you guessed in your letter YES I purchased the Color Trifold paper from a company I did not print the Color myself. It's called "Symposium" and is item # BM6011 from Paper Direct at 800-A-PAPERS It comes in 100 Sheet Boxes for approx $18 If I remember correctly. Give them a call and ask for their Catalog, lotsa nice stuff including Card Stock for Business Cards as well as a few different types of Trifold and Quad fold paper styles as well as matching envelopes and more. Thier prices are a bit higher than others but I still use Paper Direct simply because of their Selection and Service.

Thanks. The rate cards came out pretty nice. (Even if I did have to use a Mac to get good color seperations. ProPage from Gold Disk just couldn't cut the mustard.) I'll have to give that paper company a call. I'm always looking for a cheap way to improve the appearance of my business. (How'd the holographic stamp on the envelope look after the long, cross-country journey?)

The Holo Stamp was Gorgeous. Is this a Regular US SNAIL offering???? By all means call paper Direct, they've got a TON of stuff for DTPer's. They even have that Laser Foil for adding Color to yer Output. Requires a Laser printer since it is tranferred via HEAT.

Yeah, the USPS sells those envelopes for 34 cents/ea (only 5cents more than a plain stamp would cost). I can't find my catalog, but I buy them mail-order from the US Philatelic Sales Division. I first saw them for sale at a local post office a few years back, but they eventually ran out. If your local post office doesn't have them, they'll have the stamp catalog that you can use to order it direct. I've used that Laser Foil before. It's really neat, but I'm going to be getting a DeskJet550C when I upgrade from my current dot matrix, so the Laser Foil won't do me any good. Keep On Toastin' Erik Flom

Thanx for the info, Will Definitely Ask at my Post Office when I next go there about those Pre Postaged Holo Stamped Envlopes. Ohhhh NICE, a 550C eh? I'm sure I'll be pestering you eventually for Sample output hehehehehehehehe BTW before I forget. Do you know of a Good source of Dinosaur Models? Besides Antic's old Dinosaur Design Disk and Of Course ruling out Viewpoint's Mega Buck models. Thanx

Short of the Antic disk, I can't think of any other dino objects . . . Doing some kind of Jurassic Park rip-off? :^) Erik Flom

Viewpoint Animation Engineering is a great place to check for objects. They produce the REEEALY high end things you see in commercials and movies every day. They aren't cheap (average $200-500), but they are GREAT objects. You can call them at 1-800-DATASET and they'll send you HUGE catalog. David Hopkins

Thanks, I've already got one of their catalogs. Very expensive & very nice. Unfortunately, too expensive for my blood. Keep On Toastin' Erik Flom

Eric, I have to thank you for a tip… dropped by the post office today at lunch and asked if they had any of those holos… they had 8 left, can't order any more… I got em all. :^) They are pretty; they're also interesting and in their own tiny way, a signpost of science and commercialization of science. I'll be keeping these forever. –Ben …via AutoPilot

"can't order any more" !?!?!? Hmmmm, I've seen 'em for years, and I just got another 30 via mail from the US Philatelic service last month . . . . Maybe I should order some more before they're all gone. :^( Glad you liked them. (Who'd have guessed we'd see holograms on stamps 'in this day & age'?) Keep On Toastin' Erik Flom
