It would run out of ink.

I agree with the post though.

Aren't there color laser printers?

Yes but they cost a pretty penny.

i'll print it for you.

just send me the document and what ever it would cost to ship it and $10.00 for paper.

That would take me about 5 minutes to print here at work.

Because inkjets are extremely expensive per page compared to laser...

I have 3 Xerox 4635's in the laser room here. There is also a small army of HP 5si's scattered throughout the building too. The Xerox's are 135 PPM pure goodness. Never make an enemy of a man with that kind of printing power.

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?

kinkos and have them bind it

 

[Cougar]

I don't know if the price is different for printing as opposed to copying but last I checked they charged 4.5 cents per copy ($.045) after 100 copies. If you can get that price then I'd say do it at Kinko's. I'm sure you'd definately burn through more than $30 if you tried to do it at home.

Actually I just realized it was print protected... duh... lol... guess I wasted everyone's time for nothing =)

that can be removed.

I printed out a good 5000 pages of crap at school that I still have. I got tired of paying 5 cents a page, so I "fooled around" with the printer software so I sould only get charged 5 cents a print job. I did it on one of the laser printers in the computer lab in my res hall. After I did it, it stayed like that until I left the school over a year later. It is probably STILL like that if all they did was swap the card reader to another newer printer. I should check on my next trip down in that area.

 

[EyeMWing]

Strip the print protection! DUH. Oh, wait, DMCA. Nevermind.

 

[alkemyst]

I don't know why ppl are saying don't do it on an inkjet. I wouldn't attempt on a slow one, but with nice paper mine does great output and my black ink is about $1-2 per tank generic.

Maybe not as cheap as toner, but it's not going to break the bank either.

I never did 650 pages, but I did about 275 - 300 once.

time for a laser printer

Word. Just stay a little longer, when most of staff is gone print it not to attract much attention to using the company printer for your own volume printing... I do it all the time - save lots of money I think!

 

[Kelemvor]

I'd do it at work. Find a nice fast printer or printer/copier combo and just print it like 10-20 pages at a time so you don't look suspicious.

We had some Canon ImageRunner 550s (print 55 pages per minute) so I always printed things there. Even printed my wedding programs and other things like that.

inkjets cost p er page is more then laser, esp if you want decent output and buy premium paper/ink.. still looks sh*t compared to laser with sh*t plain paper.
