What's the cheapest way to print massive # of pages?

[NeoPTLD]

My instructor made a class packet available online in .doc format. This can also be bought at the bookstore, but I was wondering if there's an economical way to print about 100 pages at once?

And what would be the cheapest solution to print out a 900 page(450 double sided) pdf file and have it bundled?

i just print it at school using school paper and ink

Buy it a the bookstore.

I wanted to get a game manual printed up (300 pages). The local place wanted $0.60 per page. That's $180 for the manual.

We have to pay 5 cents a page for printing ant it gets billed to our student account and printing from "general account" is locked, so printing on school printers isn't an option.

Take it to Staples/OMAX/ODepot - if they have the capability to print off a disk directly to a copier, it'll be like $5-10 computer use fee + $.05-$.07 per page. To have it bound is anywhere from $1-$3.

I'm sure places like Kinko's will print .doc files, but I have no idea what their rates are.

I'll second the OMax/Staples/OD suggestion. Although I would suggest ponying up for a three ring binder and using it.... it tends to work better for class notes (especially if you flip through them a lot to study).

Sometimes the universities copy center will print things like that for a reasonable price.... you'd just have to check.

Staples:

$2.45 to open the document
99 cents per page.
Screw that

If you ahve your own laser printer, it'll only take like 10 minutes anyway. Thats what I do, but then I use work paper and ink.

 

[amdskip]

Look in hot deals for a laser printer.

What a rip.

We have places in England that charge 5p per page that is 'alright'.

How much is the bookstore price?

At my College we have unlimited printer usage and no fees . Well I am in the CS department but the other departments they have to have an account and top that up.

You need to call around and check another one - like I said, it's only if they have the capability to print directly to a copier. (Our store was setup to print to an inkjet - .99 per page) Check OMAX, Staples, Office Depot, and even Kinkos. You could also call up the store and specifically ask which one around you does that.

Take it to a friend's place and "borrow" his printer

My thoughts exactly.

Or do it in the computer lab if you can print for free. Just print out like 5 pages at once so it's not so obvious you are printing a huge document.

 

[ElFenix]

its for class? print it at school.

Go to Kinko's Print-to-Kinkos and upload you doc. You can choose to have it stapled, binded, double or single sided, select the branch you want to print it to, choose to pay on-line or at the branch, wait 30mins and pick up your order.


Have fun!
