I'm thinking about doing my menu's and programs myself. The ? I have is did you really save any $$? I figure by the time I buy everything I need (especially the printer ink) I may as well have had them done professionally.

Try choosing to print it in Maximum dpi they come out crisp and clear. I had the same problem and found that option fixed it.

Re: For all DIY'ers
depends on what program you are using and how you do it for quality. I did mine and printed them on a press (worked at a print shop at the time). My ink jet printed them out fine but I was more concerned with matching my green for everything so i had to print it on the press along with everything else.
I paid VERY little for myself but I had the benefit of paper distros with heavy discounts, i am a graphic designer and know what I am doing, a print shop and the drive to sit and hand assemble each of them which was not easy.
If you really want them and really don't want to pay someone then its worth it if your going to get frustrated and really don't know how to use your programs to design them then its worth paying someone else to do them.

menus yes i did save.. and that's partially because the kid at staples felt bad that i had to fork over 200 bucks for printing one color and he charged me the 15 cents for..
the programs not at all.. i don't think i could have done.. though i was trying to be quite the daredevil about..

Re: For all DIY'ers
i think it definitely does save you money if you print them yourself, but how much you save really depends on what type of invites/menus you want. For pocketfold invites, you can save A LOT by DIYing.
