A general comparison of approaches. Actual costs and capabilities depend on the tools and scope you choose.

Check what the letter requires.

Confirm the document, addresses, printing needs and mailing service. Then compare the supplies and steps needed for each route.

Compare the full cost of sending it.

For home printing, count paper, ink, envelopes, postage and a postal handoff. For an online service, review the configured price and available mailing options before ordering.

Talk through the tradeoffs.

Bring the tools, constraints and recurring task you want to improve.
