Low cost yellow letter recipe :)

[Account Closed]

I've made a simple spreadsheet with links to low cost DIY yellow letter and business letter supplies. For my Sacramento folks who have discussed this with me recently, and anyone else who may be interested... here's the link

The cost comes out to 53 cents for the business letter and 59 cents for the yellow letter (mailed). This does not include your time. I'll probably try and lean out the packing/stamping/writing process and write up some instructions if I can come up with something really efficient for bootstrap investors to complete the process very quickly. I think handwriting on the envelope is an important touch anyways.

Printing onto the yellow lined paper might be a bit of a hassle, its going to take some playing around with the measurements and margins. 

Also, I'm using this printer.

Since it's a very popular commercial choice, there are a lot of low cost toner options available... as long as you're willing to print in black ink only. My ink per page is something along then lines of 4 cents with this.

I hope this is helpful to some of you! I will continue to try to optimize this and the preparation process, and share any useful findings I come across!

Cheers!
