It's that crucial time of year when food donations really go the extra mile. Non-perishable food donations help not only those struggling to make ends meet or find a balanced meal but as it turns out, parking violators too.
Colorado State University's Parking and Transportation Services is now giving their students a chance to let karma intervene by giving back to their community.
Students can give food or cash donations in exchange for a $5 discount on their minor parking citations. Check out the full story here
What Are The Pros and Cons?
When we say plain we are referring to unprinted polyvinyl and not thermal paper. Thermal paper is fine for store receipts but not the best for parking tickets. Thermal paper is less expensive and readily available, however, not recommended by us for use in our printers. Thermal paper leaves lint residue on the printer head of all printers and if not cleaned can lead to printer shutdown/malfunction. Also note, thermal paper cannot be left outside in inclement weather as it will disintegrate. No envelopes are required with polyvinyl paper.
United Public Safety recommends the use of polyvinyl paper within our solution. Plain white Polyvinyl paper unprinted makes for a longer ticket as Terms and Conditions as well as payment instructions are all printed by the printer on the front side of the ticket. Assume 60-70 tickets per roll and about .04 to 06 cents per ticket. It is easy to change information on unprinted paper. Polyvinyl paper is stocked by us and can ship the same day it is ordered. We stock White and Yellow Polyvinyl paper and other colors can be ordered (minimums apply). Standard tickets are between 6 and 8 inches depending on the information that is collected.
Preprinted Polyvinyl tickets are more expensive, assume between .10 and .17 cents per ticket and minimum orders apply. Preprinted paper can shorten the ticket issuance process as much of the standard information is already preprinted. We do not stock custom paper.
Preprinted paper does expedite the printing process because the header and footer is preprinted. With a violation photo assume a minimum 6 inch ticket. This can be shortened if information is preprinted on the back of the ticket. Preprinted tickets can also be in color.
The options, as seen above, are for custom printed ticket paper (left) and our standard ticket (right). Custom has many variables and options, including reverse-side printing, color logos, etc. We have even printed a location map on the reverse side! We are always happy to answer questions pertaining to paper. Just ask!
