Ink Disaster!!!

So last week I decided it was time I printed all of the invitation stuff out.

I was shocked by how fast the ink ran out! :(

If you remember, we spent $59.77 on ink (a 4 pack which included color ink & 1 mega black ink). The colored ink cost $41.99. Because of the color theme of our invites (brown & pink), the magenta & yellow were out in the middle of the RSVPS! As we trudged into Staples to purchase some more, I couldn't bring myself to pay another $41.99 for another set of colored ink. Instead we purchased this which cost $20:

its refillable ink! unfortunately the process is not as easy as it seems... and I got magenta ink all over my hands... hope it goes away by the engagement session today ( 7/19! )

110 pages of English invites + 55 online RSVP pages

88 pages aka 176 invites that are MISTAKES: purple & pink

I forgot to monitor the magenta & yellow ink levels closely enough-- so when my printer ran out of them, my printer decided to print using the cyan and voila-- purple & pink invites. It is SUCH a waste to throw these out... and the Korean folks really do not care about the colors of the invites... so I'm thinking we'll just use them?

165 pages aka 330 invites that are CORRECT

I'm hoping that will be enough for Momma Justice & Momma Mercy.

still need to print out the labels for the envelopes & the labels for the favor boxes.

Then later I'll print out the programs and we'll be DONE!

On a side note...

Seeing how quickly the ink runs out... well I guess its after a lot of printing... makes me nervous about how we're going to print for the photobooth. I think we are going to use a mac and we are going to make a donation to David Cline to get the code to command the mac to print out photostrips...
