The hand out worked out in the end. After the photocopier spitting out or jamming every other print, we only ended up with 33 for the limited edition, and I didn't have time to get more newsprint.

We always wanted the hand out to look throw away, cheap and disposable. This is why we chose to print onto newsprint and to print using a normal inkjet printer. And also I think the blurry and smudged 'mistakes' were actually quite successful in enhancing this effect.

We hand numbered 30 of them to be mounted for viewers to help themselves to. This made them a limited edition and a gift for the visitors, and simply the numbering makes it into an artwork itself rather than just obligatory piece of information. People will retain it. The numbering gives it value, even though yhe materials aren't worth anything.
