• Check for printing costs at your on-campus print shop 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.
• To reduce printing costs, consider printing in black & white and refer to the webbook or PDF for any diagrams that require colour.
• Ask about binding or 3-hole punching when you order, as this is usually low cost and will make your textbook easier to use.
