Need 50 slick-looking sheets of letterhead [OT]

This is slightly off-topic. I live in London. Can you people here help me with getting a small volume of preprinted stationery. I want to get some A4 paper with coloured letterhead so that some letters look very formal as if they come from a small to medium organisiation. There is no faking or false status involved.I need 50 "first" pages which would have a logo and various preprinted items on the page and then 100 "second pages" which would come from the same paper stock and which may or may not have preprinted items.What is the cheapest or best way to get this?The letters are going to be sent to people who are used to receiving such corespondence so letterheads produced by a doemstic laserjet (with its slightly patchy shading of blocks of colour) is not going to look right.The volumes I need seem a bit too low to trouble a commercial printer for.Do you think I get the results I want by making a design on my own PC and taking it to a pro copy shop that has something like colour laser printing. I have heard of Kinko but never used them.What other options should I consider? Jim

I occasionally visit the site in question. It's mainly saddos that decide they need to install Windows XP on a tin of baked beans. There's some right impressive works of art in amongst the dross though.

It is, perhaps unsurprisingly, called mini-itx.com.

This is all such a pleasant change from OS wars, isn't it?

Is it one of those with detachable covers on the keys? We had one in the college computer room and people used to take them off and put them back in alphabetical order. A rather more subtle trick though was just to swap the n and the m.

That's the ones. The famous Model M. I have enough spares in the shed to last 150 years at this rate.
