			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently wanted a copy of the 2008-2009 Budget and was told it would be .50 per page through our Town Office. This past weekend I went to Fed/Ex Kinko&#8217;s in Portsmouth to have some color copies made for a project. Care to know what Kinko&#8217;s rates were?</p>
<p>Black and white copies .09 cents and full color copies were .49 cents (color copies were on coated stock). Kinko&#8217;s even did the copies for me, placed them in a bag and inserted heavy card stock to prevent the copies from folding. It was all great service with a smile.</p>
<p>I ask you, how is it a store can operate solely to print and make copies be profitable at these rates and our Town Office requires more than 4 times the cost per page ( a full .41cents more ) ?</p>
<p>Why is the Town copy rate rate so high?  We are told You are welcome to go to the Town Office and request information but when it costs you a dollar for every two pages, that&#8217;s ludicrous..and a major deterrent.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t understand why we have to charge residents at all for document or report copies. If non residents want personal items copied make it no more than .10 a page. At .10 a page the town rate still would be 10% more than Kinko&#8217;s. I know it seems petty, but Town Document Copies are way too expensive in my opinion. Go ahead and wack the non-residents an exorbitant fee but not the residents and not for town reports.</p>
<p>To make things even clearer, I could purchase this <a title="Example" href="http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&amp;oid=63074511">Epson multifunction printer, scanner, fax unit</a> and 500 sheets of paper for less than the cost 75 pages from the town office.</p>
<p>What do you think about copy costs?</p>
