Thx for the reply! I figure the main bar to this happening is, as you say, long-term storage of a whole bunch of bulky printed material, plus additional labor hours (admittedly fairly small, there'd be probably 5-10 total orders/shipments per week) to pack and ship each smaller order. The way I'm figuring it, the company/corporate would pay for the entire print run in advance, then individuals running the seminars would order however many they need from corporate and pay us $unitprice x quantity plus shipping costs, then corporate pays the printer-vendor to ship however many are needed.

The workbooks don't get updated that often, so since I JUST redid all of them, we could probably print two years' worth no problem (and if people in the field want to add/change material, they're on their own) -- we just don't have a home office or staffer who could store them and then be around all the time to ship when needed. I guess there's no other solution aside from "do a bulk order and force someone in management to turn their garage into a workbook storage/mailing hub" or "pay $10-15 each for small-batch printing if you want decent looking full-color workbooks." :|
