Good idea Nik Could I make a plea for a design which is economical (not expensive) in terms of use of colours? For example, in a domestic printer, the colour cartridge is often a single multicolour item. For example when the blue runs out, the whole thing is dead. (Unless special action is taken). So a balanced multicolour design would get best use from domestic cartridges. Use of colour in modest contrast also would be economical. Having said that - how much are A4 colour photocopies now? Is it possible to base something on a diy folded colour A4 sheet? It would be significant to include Ubuntu etc logo and branding wouldn't it? Such branding would be covered by some guidelines presumably? -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
