<BR>instead of restricting coloring methods. A properly sealed piece of paper
<BR>or, better yet, digital storage, would eliminate the fading of the pigment
<BR>in the ink and thus allow for computer generated submissions. </BLOCKQUOTE>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>But this would not do anything for the submissions whose colors change in
<BR>route to Golden Dolphin. (Yes, it has happened).
<BR>
<BR>And, logistically speaking, which is easier? Revamping the entire storage
<BR>method for all of Lurel's archives so that it is up to par with museum and
<BR>library archival standards, or just telling people, "Hey guys, use Crayola
<BR>markers."
<BR>
<BR>Yes, preparing your device on your computer, and then printing off color
<BR>copies is easy. But really, the amount of coloring to do by hand on the
<BR>forms to submit to Golden Dolphin is minimal, and if you aren't inclined to
<BR>want to color your own device in 3 or 4 times, then how likely are you to
<BR>put that same device on things later, such as banners, mugs, chests,
<BR>scrolls, tabards, etc? The whole point of having heraldry is so you can
<BR>use and display it.
<BR>
<BR>Before submitting, I usually tell people to draw out their device about 10
<BR>or 15 times, and if they still are not sick of it, then they should
<BR>register it. ;-)
<BR>
<BR>Aye,
