I like it, but black on red is incredibly hard to read. Someone needs to search the internet for color pairing, to find some color combinations that professionals have already vetted as pleasing to the eyes.

This is a first draft, I plan to outline all the text in white to soften it up
That might help. It might be prudent to consult reading ADA accessibility guidelines about reading contrast. I believe that is the issue right now. Thanks!
But do you use color printers?
We're going to get it printed professionally at a union printing shop, because it's a trifold
I love this
Because of tracking?
No, because you're only getting two in red, and the rest'll be in rapidly fading pink.
Also, FWIW, black on red is shite for legibility to the unaided human eye. ✊🏼
My printer can do accurate color for days.
That said, this should be red paper with black toner.
Or, as you said, black on white is better than black on red because who wants to read that shit.
Yes.
