John Langlois may be frustrated by me pursuing the subject in the wrong 
direction. Sorry. :-)

I'm well aware of different kind of copies. We had that solved already 
in the middle seventies, when I at a shipping company produced Bill of 
Loading in up to 24 copies where some of the copies only had "Sender 
and Reciever" visable and others absolutely all information about the 
cargo and all the versions in between.

With todays computer power you will only need to add the information in 
a FileMaker Pro register or even AppleWorks then order three different 
layouts to be printed on a set of same or different coulored papers. In 
FMPro you can have the printing automated so it goes from one layout to 
another automatically and since todays printers is so much faster than 
John's ImageWriter I'm positive the total time will be the same or even 
shorter. Not to mention how much better the quality of the printing.

I hope this kind of information will give John a chance to point out 
for the decisions makers that, as I said previously, they need to move 
to this centuary.
