Printing Manuals (On The Cheap)

Printing Manuals (On The Cheap)

2012-05-25 by vivaknievel

Found a company in Los Angeles, which prints at 2 cents, per page.  Total cost for printing my PDF manual, plus extra Command Station resources, with double-side, 3-hole punch, and shipping to Austin was $20. That's under half of what others were quoting for just the manual itself, and also factors to be less expensive than my home printer. They're called Digital Express (aka ScriptCopier.com).  Wasn't sure if this is needed enough to go in Resources, but I figure it'll save some of you a few bucks, if you really would prefer a print manual.  The cart wasn't working when I ordered, but the owner had me send him my files through YouSendIt and we went from there.  - Jammes

Good info here, thanks!  On something as complicated as the Command Station, Wavestation or any modern synth with PDF only manuals having a paper document beats digital every time for me.

I was thinking I'd just take a couple reams of paper into work on a Saturday but I don't think we have a binder that will do 350+ pages. :)

This might be the better solution. What extra resources did you have them print?

Glad it could help you. :)  Agreed - it's much easier with this type of manual.  The resources I added were the FAQs and the "Tips and Tricks"; about 20 pages. So, it was a little over 400 pages, total.  

FYI, these guys specialize in screenplays, so your binding options are limited to brads or nothing.  I'm picking up a binder from an office supply or drug store.
