There seems to be one major problem with the usual
fanfolding systems: They
perforate! If you perforate the paper web it's easy. That's done for
computer paper and forms.
Perforations are optional on paper folding machines. Some will not
even do the perforation function, so another machine needs to be
called into duty.
The most interesting question is if there is
reasonable need/interest for
nicely printed punch cards througout the vintage computing/computer museum
community. I'd want to run them through a letterpress. I'd need to do a run
of at least 150000 cards. That's about the minimum amount of paper to buy
for a reasonable price.
Do you think you could do it cheaper than Cardmation? For a few
hundred dollars, a collector or museum could get more cards than they
will probably ever use.
