Lori, So they are trying to solve customer service problems through automation... I get that. However, I think going to far down the road of the on site custom printing will generate just as many customer service issues (if not more). I think I agree with most of the folks here that you should at least do the color printing ahead of time on blanks.

Last year they pre-stuffed envelopes and categorized them by last name. They don't want to do that this year. Apparently they had problems with names not being spelled correctly or they wanted nicknames on their badge. The problem is that this is a HUGE conference and just in the first night last year there were over 3000 people registering (of course there were many people doing the registering) That is just the first night. I think they are just looking at a way for them not to have to stuff the envelopes with the event details, tickets for certain events they have paid for, and their name badge, etc. -----Original Message----- From: Jochem van Dieten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2007 4:36 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Best way to do this...

I haven't, and I think there is a pretty good reason for that. Why not print everything upfront and have it ready in an envelope? Just hire a bunch of temps to hand out the envelopes.
