Recommendations
- Check for printing costs at your on-campus print shop (such as Grenville at Georgian College) or a local print shop (Staples, etc)
- Printing a large document is often significantly less expensive at a print shop than it is to print on your home printer or at the Library
- Consider printing in black & white and refer to the webbook or PDF for any diagrams that require colour (significantly less expensive)
- Ask about binding or 3 hole punching when you order, as this is usually low cost and will make your textbook easier to use
