Thanks Tim. Maybe next time we could include some "Lorem Ipsum" text 
instead! :-) But, seriously, the text in this example still needs to be 
corrected and is in need of some changes. So please do not look at the 
text, but let's work on the template design. But please do not use the 
pamphlet as is, we will be putting the text through a final proofing on 
the marketing list!!!

Just to put this more into context and to put all of the suggested 
pamphlet template files on one thread --

Tim has test-tried the other community pamphlet templates suggested in 
our other threads and has found that, except for the "ink-saver" 
pamphlet[1], where there were not problems, the other two that I had 
suggested[2][3] presented problems with ink-bleed-through the page, more 
expensive, and showed shadows of the other side of the page due to the 
amount of black background used in the templates. I have also tried 
them, but have only laser printers and could not try ink-jet. My laser 
prints were not bad, but I can well imagine that the results would be 
quite different on ink-jet printers which are more in use than lasers.

So, OK, let's totally eliminate my two proposals. The ink-saver 
pamphlet, while it does work, is IMO, not that appealing. I am not sure 
if we would be defeating the purpose of a pamphlet if the first 
impression we leave is that the pamphlet is in need of "beautifying". 
From a marketing point of view this would not be our objective, we want 
the reader to concentrate on the pamphlet's text.

Tim is now suggesting that we go back to our original community pamphlet 
template which works[4], and is not hard on ink, the bleed-through is 
not a consideration.

I have changed my view on this and will agree with Tim, that we should 
keep to the proven community template, with the community logo. This 
will be easier on printing costs for our members/groups who wish to 
print off some pamphlets, while allowing for the offset printing of our 
official pamphlets.

Comments?

Cheers,

Marc
