Printing

Morgan Kaufmann does the Proceedings for AAAI, and IJCAI conferences. Omnipress (800-745-7323) is a very responsive and dependable smaller printer. When shopping for printers, they need to know the approximate page count, the weight of the paper (140 m is fine), what kind of cover page you want (with artwork is more expensive, but a standard one-color job is easy), and what kind of lamination you want. Generally, turnaround time for camera-ready copy is about 2 weeks.

The AMTA-96 proceedings (250 books, 135 pages each, double-sided) cost $1200 to copy and $600 to bind in 1996. The ACL-2000 proceedings cost approximately $13,000 for the main proceedings and approximately $2,600 for the companion volume (assumes 114 pages and same number of copies as the main proceedings). Morgan Kaufmann also says that it will cost $0.30 per volume pair to shrink-wrap them for subsequent distribution.

ISBN numbers should be requested.
