Anil,

In my opinion (I am not on the committee)

1c is perfectly acceptable IMHO. I don't see how charging more for
prints could have reduced the deterioration in any way.  Keep in mind
the current printer was probably obtained second hand.

Secondly, asking for more on previous prints would really have not been
any different than asking for donations at purchase time, and even if we
did, it's been standard process for some time to ask for donations when
making purchases (such as the file server, and now the printer).

There is no requirement to donate.

Cheers,
Trent
