I went to Kinkos and got quoted for 2,000 copies to be:
(one side color - other side b&w) = $1,196
(both color) = $1,680

Though he said we could discuss bringing those prices down so I'm hoping a few hundred off...but still, any new thoughts?

I thank God daily for your existence and proclaim blessings over your life, that which satisfies and makes you radiant. Keep falling in love with Him, honey--we have not yet discovered just how huge His Kingdom is.
