You were right about the printing. I had to get something from the printer this afternoon, so I printed out a copy of the new logo and took it with me. I ask them how much for 1K CD case inserts. They said it would have to be done 4 color and they would be .30 - .40 ea with setup. And that's not even including the CD labels themselves. I've had full color brochures printed for not much more than that. I didn't even bother asking about server stickers.
