The real cost

Nice job!

I am wondering whether to have some brochures made up or if I should use reference sheets...what is recommended?

Are reference sheets more for galleries?

I think sometimes it's good to balance out what it costs to do something like this yourself compared to having a fine art printer do it for you.

When you factor in:

1- Your time to do this taking you away from producting art;

2- Your graphics work/time on computer

3- Cost of new printer

4- Cost of ink

5- Cost of the paper stock

6- Time spent folding, etc...

The list could be potentially longer. When you do all the math, it may come out MORE expensive to do it yourself.
