I've clearly let this languish for too long, as I suddenly need more information. A 2 week lead time sounds good to me, but I'm concerned about page limits. I expect between 50 and 100 pages, and would be a bit choked with less for the price attendees are paying. It looks as though we still have no quote on this amount of printing. For my purposes, I want to be able to tell workshop instructors on Monday what is expected of them, ie. an acceptable number of pages and delivery timeline. Does anyone think 50-100 pages, comb bound (cheapest and will lie flat) is appropriate?<br>
<br>
I have an OfficeWorks price list in front of me, listed as valid until the end of the year, which puts black and white copies at 6c each between 501-3000 copies, colour at 75c each over 501, comb binding for up to 100 pages at $1.95. This would put 580 B&W books in the range of $2871-4611, or $9-16 per delegate, though there will be some additional costs for downloading documents and covers and such.<div>

I think all printed material + CD-ROMS should be ready to be handed<br>
out to the registered attendees of the workshop. And I expect for<br>
large workshops we may be expected to organise it before the start of<br>
the conference. This would mean that we get the material from the<br>
authors say 2 weeks before the workshop.<br>
<br>
The printing doesn't need to be fancy. Just plain black and white at<br>
most a thermal binding. Can TH estimate what this would cost?<br>

We are stating in our call and submission instructions for workshops that we<br>
are expecting additional materials to be produced for attendees, such as<br>
handouts, workbooks or CD-ROMS. Jody has brought up the question of what we<br>
are willing to do to support this. Should we be prepared to provide print<br>
services for workshops; ie. instructors will upload material a week before<br>
hand and we will have enough printed to cover their room? Alternately we<br>
can simply recommend a print shop near the convention center. I believe<br>
there's a kinkos nearby.<br>
<br>
I don't think it's a question of offering printing to tutorial presenters,<br>
they will just get contact details for our preferred print shop.<br>
