[Bookstoprisoners] FW: [Imc] copier

[Jay Schubert]

I think it sounds like a solid idea too. My only concern would be whether
they expect us to sign a contract to get that kind of deal. I'm doubting
that they'd be cool delivering a copier down stairs, letting us make 2000
free copies then hauling the thing back out 30 days later all for $60.

I'm guessing we (btp) would pay for the first month if the imc wanted to
exercise this as a long term option?

It sounds pretty cheap (.03 per copy). I think we can get paper for like .01
per sheet so that's .04 ea :: 30% less than Kinkos... I think we could
certainly make 2000 copies in Oct.
