Invitation Frustration

So once we got the invitations made, I checked with different printers for the best price.  Ranging from $0.59 at Kinko's down to $0.45 at a small printer in Greenwood, I called one last place.  The UPS Store on 135 said they were running a sale for $0.31.  I was ecstatic to get them for almost half price from the original quote I got from Kinko's.  In the process of running around on Saturday, we went by the store in Speedway and found that the special was actually $0.25!  But they only had 20 sheets of cardstock.  We had to run through Mooresville, so we stopped at the store there and they printed a test invitation, RSVP card, and save the date.  They looked great, but they were closing and he wanted us to come back and get them.  I figured the one in Greenwood is a lot closer, so I'd go there one night during the week.  I went on Monday night and they printed a test copy that came out about 3 shades darker green than the true color.  He compared it to the on-screen image, said he had no idea why it was printing darker or how to fix it.  No worries.  I'll head to the one in Franklin.  I went after work and they aren't running the special at that location.  I have already addressed the save the date envelopes and am ready to send them out, if only I could get them printed!!  Guess I'm headed back to Mooresville this weekend.
