What is the going rate these days for one club to purchase the product of a DealMaster (including printed hand records) from another club which has the toy?

So you want to know if someone with Deal MasterPro would give you a set of hands in some format (say PBN or one of the dealing machines format) and print out of the same hands (say in PDF format) along with makeable contracts, etc? I can't imagine anyone would charge you much for that.
Tell us what you might want in the way of output and how many you would need. Deal MAsterPro is not only owned by clubs, but also by teachers and just regular bridge players. I have to admit, I don't know what the licensing agreement is between Deal MAsterPro and their customers are on sharing such output, but I can't imagine it so restrictive someone couldn't help you out.

Much simpler than all that. I believe it was mentioned a while back on one of the fora that a particular owner was charging neighboring bridge clubs some specific amount for a session's worth of pre dealt boards and the accompanying printed hand records.
It would shorten tha break-even period for an owner who purchased the said program and equipment if he would charge surrounding clubs for the service.
If someone has such an arrangement, it would be nice to know what is being charged. I am not asking for such arrangment from fellow forum members.

The local bridge organization here has a duplimate machine, several sets of boards, and DealMaster Pro. They provide pre-dealt boards and printed hand records for about $4 per set to local clubs. Normally around forty copies of the hand records, iirc. Other places around the country, last I checked (about a year ago) were charging $6 per set for this. I don't know what they might charge just for hand records. Printing costs them, I think, around 4 cents a page.
