Gabriel, let us know if this is stll a true statement once you receive
your APEC III Exchange 15 box... Look at your copy of my card and
let's see... =)

Agreed that there are several places around that do a good job
printing from digital files (and BTW - the higher the resolution you
submit, the better the final files look...) but I have found that I
can make prints here at home cheaper - and they can already be trimmed
and aligned saving a lot of time on the back end of the stereocard
making process and that translates in to value too! =)

I look forward to hearing what you think once you see the APEC card
Gabriel!
