Best way to print a 716page PDF?

Get a laser printer and do it yourself. The beauty is you still have a laser printer after you're done.

$300 minimum for a cheap laser printer != $14 for some copies at kinkos

I have had good experience using online printers...like a penny a page...the shipping might be higer than tax though.....I used Mimeo...they have $50 free print trial, just click on the Free Trial green button. If you have the time, might be worth checking out. This site has gotten favorable ratings from PC Mag and others

EDIT: Looking around on thier site, claim that they are better than FedEx Kinkos, Article 1 and Article 2

Just print it at home or at work....maybe like 100 pages at a time...they wont notice. Get a nice binder to put it in too...

Been to the Hot Deals forum lately? You can almost certainly get one for <$100, maybe even <$50 if you screw around with rebates, coupons, pricematches, etc.

that's actually a hell of an idea

i agree, i bet it'd work...

go and buy a ream of paper from the local staples or office depot for $5. print it at a friends house. Double sided?

You can easily get a laser printer for ~$100.00

i don't think printing 700 pages at kinko's will cost 14 dollars either. At the kinko's near by, i think the bulk cost is 6cents per page. cheaper per page in terms of printing but since they gotta 'run the machines' it also adds to the cost.

4c = 29ish bucks.
5c = 35ish bucks.
6c = 42ish bucks.
7c = 50ish bucks.

depending on what you get charged : this project could get really expensive at a kinko's.

hey, i love my cheap laser printers, had a samsung 1710 (i think?) and a hp1000, both were under 70 at time of purchase, definitely worth it as they both would have had no prob w/ a 700 page job as long as u didn't mind reloading the tray since they only hold like 150 pages

I know several people who were going to get Kinko's/Staples to print the F4:AF manual and it *espescially* in color it was freakin' scary.. like a few hundred bucks.

And, the manual really should be printed in Color. It makes a big difference.

I bit the bullet and just used my Pixma 4000. Took basically 1 of each ink-tank except the small (photo?) black.
