Definitely print the big 12 meg one.

Take a look at each in print preview. The pages don't fill up a standard 8.5 x 11 page on the 8 meg one.

FWIW, my local Kinkos just quoted me $220US for color, double-sided, spiral-bound printing of the 8.5x11 pdf.

HUH? $220.00!!! How much do you figure in your own ink? Full color. Image

Holy smokes! Go buy your own $150 printer, 2 refills for $40 and some paper for $20 and print it yourself for tha kind of money! [X(]

My high speed wax colour printer is only .35 a sheet, thats $70 odd bucks for godlike quality, not just normal colour.

I laughed at them as I walked out... They've been going downhill (farther) ever since Fedex bought them out earlier this year.

I've abused the hell out of a laser printer at work, spent 15 minutes with a 3-hole punch, and now I have a suitably wicked looking binder full of grayscale goodness.

Next, I will set it up so my wife and I have to turn synchronized keys in order to start our computers and then we'll move into the basement.

It took one B&W Ink Cartridge and one and part of another Color cartridge to print out the full 220 page manual and the 60 page tutorial.

That´s the one intended to use for print at US Letter paper size. Unless of course you want to have it printed at the DVD box manual size [;)]

I'll accept that answer graciously.

I do have a brand new inkjet printer still in the box that I'm getting ready to install. Of course, right now I am downloading a new version of Acrobat in order to even look at the manual.


Man... I just have to vent a moment. I had to dl the new Adobe twice (got a corrupted file the first time), only to find that I now have to dl a newer version of MS Internet Explorer ( I use Netscape).

Is it possible to just pull the color pages out of the manual and have them doen at Kinkos or on the office printer? I know that I did that with the UV manual. My poor HP Laser Jet 4 at work was HOT when I got done, but it saved me a bunch of ink. I then printed teh maps on our color plotter and a smaller ink jet for the color plates.

Just thinking it may be cheaper. Also is it less expensive to have Kinkos print it on one side of teh paper. I know it soudns crazy but if you duplex it it may require the operator to push one more button.
