I have a 650 Page pdf that I bought... reference material... and I'd like to be able to look through it without being at the computer. 650 pages is a lot to print on my old Lexmark 3200... hell, it would probably run out of black ink before it was done... so... I was wondering if anyone knew what a place like Kinko's would charge to print it out?

i would never print 650 pages on my own printer, (at one time)

that's a LOT of printing.. would take a LONG time too.

Individual photocopies at kinko's are in the ballpark of $0.08 - $0.10 per page. I'd imagine printed pages are somewhere in the same ballpark.

650 times "insert amount per page" = Your cost

I'd probably recommend 11x17's and just doing both sides to cut down on cost

if it's a pdf, kinko's wil still be expensive. Since your not making "copies" and you are using their computer, I think their printers are .40 a page or something like that. Definately not .05 a page

Wish I had a good laser printer... I could care less about color... but other members of the family like to have color so... kinda stuck with an ink jet no matter what since switching between printers would be a hassle.

i'd print it up at school haha. We have a lab that prints up stuff for free. Of course i'd do it in the morning when no one was there cause i think it would take a long ass time to print up

I had a bunch of HP 4si (I think) in the bank for loan docs....i'd print 50,000 documents at a time usually (4 printers).

they took a beating and kept going.

It would run out of ink.

I agree with the post though.

Engage brain, then post :)
