Subject:need advice on binding From:Kim Ferri 415-428-2710 <kim -at- ASPECTDV -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 24 Oct 1994 16:13:01 PDT
Several of our customers have requested that we change our binding format. We
are currently using wiro binding. Customers and internal folks are requesting
3-ring binders for the following reasons:
o Update information with change pages instead of just release notes.
o We expect to have many updates during the next 12-18 months.
I'm aware of the following problems with 3-ring binder formats:
o Binders are expensive. That means initial cost will exceed my normal printing
costs.
o Binders are known to cause customers to lose pages.
o Change pages produce additional overhead, since we have to produce release
notes anyway.
Because I am a department of one, resources are limited. I'd appreciate your
sharing your experiences with 3-ring binder formats.
