A client prints out a 5 part invoice, and they only want the first copy to print the logo in color (it's a waste of colored toner for the internal copies).

Is there a way to do this directly in Adagio (ie without PrintBoss)?

If not, consider this a request to allow me to print images selectively on form copies, similar to the way I can for field objects.

Steve:

Add the color logo and flag it to print on copy 1 only.

Add the b&w logo overtop of the color logo and flag it not to print on copy 1.

But Doug - you can't select form copies for an image. Or am I missing something?

Steve:

You are correct, then the only option would be PrintBoss.

Softrak - please consider this a request.

Doug - You remind me of the Abbott and Costello routine "Who's on First?" It would take a lot of colored toner to make up for the cost of PrintBoss. But of course you are technically correct.

Steve

And it will also take a lot of toner to recover the cost of changing the form designer!

Why not email the forms and save the cost of the paper and the toner!

Steve:

Depending upon how much color, saving the toner cost on 4 copies could be considerable.

I agree with Andrew. They should be emailing invoices, saving not only all of the toner cost but the paper, envelop, stamp, and labour costs to mail as well.

Since this reply is google-able, I have to be careful what I write. But maybe you can read between the lines if I tell you that the only reason we are going through this process is because the client has run out of their 5-part pre-printed tractor feed forms, and their supplier can't resupply for at least two weeks.

I do have some stubborn clients. Emailing is for the 22nd century, once the technology is proven

Steve

PS - please don't bring up the cost of the forms versus the cost of toner, that would be too rational.

Steve:

You didn't mention that you were only looking for a temporary solution.

I won't mention that I've been successfully talking my clients out of multi-part paper since the year 2000, ops I just did:)

It will be way longer than 2 weeks before we could provide any solution for your client. Either they will have to bear the cost of the toner, purchase PrintBoss or make do with blank and white printing while they await delivery of their preprinted forms.

Sorry.
