I am SOOOOOO MAD! My church gave us directions and a map on a 8x11 size paper, so I went to Kinkos to have them made on smaller cards, with the map on one side and the directions on the other. When I put in the order they told me I had to either come back with the words on a disk, or I could email them the wording. I didnt want to go back and forth so I emailed them, through my regular Yahoo email that I use every day. When I went to see the proof, it was still on a large paper, with indications where it would be cut to a smaller card size. I asked the woman to fold it so I could see exactly how big it would be, to make sure it would fit in the envelope. The wording looked a little crooked and when I asked about it, the woman said that was because she had folded it. I SHOULD have known that sounded fishy. When I went to pick up the cards, the wording had a HUGE wave through the top 3 lines. They said that was how my email came up on their computer, and since I had ok'ed the proof, that was how they came out!! They offered me NO way to fix it, other than to place the whole order AGAIN for a total charge of $50.00 Hell NO!
They were so nasty and so unhelpful. As I left, IN TEARS, the girl said 'Have a good night'
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
This was just my one experience with one Kinkos, and is probably not representative of every Kinkos everywhere, but Im not going back there!!

Re: KINKOS F'ED UP MY DIRECTION CARDS
are you able to do them yourselves - do you work in an office with a photo copier - that is how i did mine -
i took the large directions and shrunk them down and printed the copies at 25% - i made four copies - cut them out and then taped them to an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper (so i now had 4 on a page) and then made copies of that
i did the same thing to the map - shrunk down - made four copies of the smaller one - taped them to 8.5 and made a copy
so then i had both the directions and the map 4 up on a normal size piece of paper..
i made like 30 copies of the directions page - and then put them in the paper holder - played around with it until when i copied them - the map ended up on the back of teh direction page - and then made a bunch of copies and cut them out
it took a lot of trial and error - but eventually it worked and i ended up with two sided small directions.
