Yumping Yiminy! Doesn't your printer store the film? What kind of press
are they using? Back when I worked for a magazine, our printer had a
huge
library of stuff from previous issues. Sure, it *was* more expensive to
do separate runs, but alot of that stuff didn't have to be re-done. Or
perhaps you could ask for everything from the printer when the job is
done. Just be careful--some of it can be kind fragile.
