mum Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I want to print a long PDF file that I bought online and I wondered if anyone knew how to do it cheaply? It would cost more than it's worth to print it on my home printer. I'd like to keep it in the format it is, not cut and condense. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunD Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 If the usability wouldn't suffer from being shrunk (no detailed diagrams or tiny illustrations) you could print it in booklet form. It prints 4 pages on 1 sheet of printer paper, first two pages one side and then it instructs you how to flip the pages all together and print two pages on the other side. Then you cut it down the middle and you have a little book about the size of a regular paperback instead of huge like printer paper. Look at the options after you click print and booklet form will be there. Or you could ask if Kinko's or wherever could do that instead of printing it one page to a sheet. I've never had anything printed there so I'm unsure whether they would do it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ester Maria Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 You can save the amount of ink you use when printing by adjusting your printing quality preferences. If you choose "draft", for example (there are several options), the print will not be as dark as you are used to - more like grey - but still legible.

Wabi Sabi Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Cheap black and white laser printer. You could print a couple hundred pages for pennies plus the cost of paper. Might be a good time of year to ask Santa for one. ;-) They're surprisingly affordable now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
