HyVee ~ Question: color catalinas

[Mom2my3sons]

Does your store have the color catalinas yet? My stores are installing them this week.

mine installed them a few days ago and they were working last night when we went to pick up a few things.

What are these like? Is the print color? Do they still have red stripes down the side?

Why do they change things? Why? First the blinkie machines! Now this! :hectic1:



:party6:

Much better.

lol, they are nothing like the old ones but i think they are nicer. the machine cuts them for you as it spits them out and they just look more like normal coupons now. there are not red stripes either and the paper is much thicker. plus the old catalinas faded (baby bucks lol) because they were on that paper that was heat activated and over time it all fades out. these are with real ink so they shouldn't!

It did occur to me that they must be using ink to get color instead of the heat printed stuff (don't leave those in the sun!), but if the red stripes are gone... how do we tell people what a Catalina is?

Mine just installed them a week ago, I like them since they print faster and look way better.
