Morning Flight will automatically compensate for the greater thickness of cover paper and adjust pricing. Note also that the four cuts needed to cut 3-1/2x8-1/2 note sheets out of 8-1/2x11 in the example below will stay at four, regardless of whether you're cutting 500 sheets or 5,000. The price of $5.00, on the other hand, will increase for higher quantities because the blade has to come down more than once.
