I was implying hard copy yes. The reason being that we currently have a nice
color laser printer that we took out the lease on for other reasons and
we're keeping. Just thinking of ways to use what we have at hand. It prints
about four double sided pages in a minute, so its not that slow.

Are you finding people are preferring HTML or PDF?

By email that's understandable. I guess in some ways I'm trying to figure
out what the US mail market is like and whether there's any reason to focus
on it, or whether to look simply to electronic-based delivery of turn
results.
