PDF Users - how do you print?

[TheLe]

A question for PDF readers, who like to print their docs.

1) Do you print 1 page at a time (one side), or do you print on both sides to save paper?

2) Do you use a 3 ring binder to keep it all together?

I read my PDFs on screen, mostly. But I print PDF pages as I need them, i.e. I only print the pages I need for gametime. So I might have a DM folder for my next game session with 3-4 pages from one PDF, 2 pages from another and more from a third.

I also like landscape for PDF. It is easier to read on screen, and I don't mind the orientation when I print the few pages I need.

Copy/Paste is a must and maps should have keyed and non-keyed versions, both hi-res. Battle maps are nice too.

If it's a short document I print on one side only, longer, more book-like, stuff I sometimes print doublesided.

2) Do you use a 3 ring binder to keep it all together?

3 ring binder? *scratches head* What an anachronistic weird artefact.
I do use a modern four-ring binder, occasionally, though.


And, as you're asking for how we print pdfs - please save a little extra margin if you're making them for US size papers. A4 is only 8.27 inches wide.

Double post due to overloaded server.

I print out only the pages I need. Most of the PDFs go unprinted

I always print on both sides of the sheet, and I use either 3-ring binders or, for larger products, tape bindings (cheap; works great)

My printer does automatic duplexing, so I always double side my prints. Then they go into a 3-ring binder.

I usually don't. I used to use PrintFu when they were still around, for a few PDF's that I really wanted a hard copy of (mostly core rulebooks that I did a lot of page-flipping with), but mostly I just read them on my laptop.

1) Double-sided.
2) These ring-binders (two holes) or these things (no clue how they're called in English).

Cheers, LT.

Most stuff I don't print. If I am running an adventure from a PDF I will single side print with no staples or bindering... just loose sheets. For storage they go into an envelope and are filed in a filing cabinet.

If I am printing a small rulebook (like I just did recently for my 1PG Sixgun Western game book I bought a whlie back) I will duplex print and spine staple.
