Printing

So I have talked to 8 companies. I had 3 that were even remotely interested. 2 that were very interested. And only one that actually gave me a price. None of the companies are enticed by the idea of sponsorship. They say the only response they get from such advertising is a bunch of people calling them for free crap. One guy seemed genuinely interested and said he would print for cost (i'm sure he's makin a lil money, but he's prob discounting it decently). he told me $325 for 1000 4x6 4/1 postcards and 1000 4/0 11x17 posters (I didn't ask for 1000, he said that that's as low a number that would result in a lower price. i.e. 500 isn't cheaper).
Another guy i spoke to sounded super pumped up and eager to compete, but he still hasn't sent me an e-mail back with actual numbers.
I think we should go ahead and just print the postcards. I have to speak to him again to find out how much just postcards/flyers would cost. In fact we could probally get even more for very cheap. for posters we can work on a much smaller scale (screen print, color copy. flyers are easy to distribute... I can't think of hundreds of places to put posters).
Also, we need to go with just one image. He said setting up the machine 3 times would cost a lot more than just setting it up once. Makes sense. So maybe we can have one last say on the image, again. So far we are using Danielle's, but I have a design, Michelle gave me one, and I know some of you might have mde one as well. We can try this voting thing again.
