PDF Users - how do you print?

The PDFs I do print, I print double-sided. I then print the covers on a color printer, usually on cardstock. I then take the whole thing to Office Depot where I have them bind it using thermal binding tape (I'm not sure what they call it, it seems like every associate calls it something different). It only works to a certain thickness, but I like it because it presents a clean, neat spine, rather than spiral coils of wire or a plastic comb.

I print double-sided and put them in a report binder (not hole-punched).

In reference to the OP - I don't print double-sided to save paper, I do it because I always lay out my PDFs as a print document, where the left and right pages are set up differently.
 



When I do print PDFs, I take them down to a local pritn shop and have them print the covers in color, single-sided, on glossy paper stock and the interior pages in black and white (usually), double-sided. I have them finish off a book with a plastic spiral binding and myler cover protectors.
This is what I ususally do if I am bowled over by most of the PDFs contents, otherwise, I cpoy'n'paste to MS Word, then print out individual pages as needed.

There was a time when I didn't print them at all but I no longer have a laptop and my increasingly poor eyesight has made using anything smaller than that to read PDFs impossible.

This, or occasionally I'll print it myself, double-sided and B&W, and chuck it in a binder with some other stuff. The latter more in the case of really little PDFs, generally.

Most often, I keep them digital, referencing and copying & pasting as needed. Or printing out just the bits I need, again for a binder.
 

It kind of depends on what I'm printing.

For War of the Burning Sky, I've printed out the scenario pages double sided. But for the Combat Stats, I've edited the .rtf file which came with the scenario so that each NPC starts at the top of a page, and printed those out single-sided, so that I can flip through the stats easily during an encounter.

Then they all get tied together in a card folder with springy things to hold the pages together.

I printed out Lost City of Barakus and did it double sided all the way. Then discovered that the Monsters/ NPC's were laid out poorly and constructed my own Roster, based on the principles noted above.

For some of the stuff I've recently obtianed at home, it will have to be single-sided, as that's the only printer we have there ;)
