    Anyone know the best place to get loose pages printed? I found a master service manual and need to get it printed since that’s way easier to use then my phone. It’s rather large…4436 pages but has everything from engine rebuild torque specs to frame specs. 229BBEDF-3AC7-4EED-8C70-C94426406AB1.png

    Any Kinkos, Staples, Office Depot etc. There's a Kinkos in Bend

    What you've got is 5 reams of paper. That's a huge manual. You're looking at a couple hundred bucks to print it out at any of those places. I'd email them and get a quote

    I've also had a friend print out a manual at his work. His company only cared about how much paper was being used, so I bought a ream of good quality paper that was pre punched for a 3 hole binder and had him run it on that

    Spend the money on a more usable electonic device better suited for reading. So many options......... Tablet, smart TV so you can sceencast from your phone or even a cheap laptop.

    Save all your service information on flashdrives so it can be easily moved to different devices.

    While i dont disagree that a tablet and having backups is a good idea and convienient, a physical copy is really preferred for being out in the shop on some things.

    Ive even reprinted a few pages here and there from a haynes manual so i could put it in the spot i was working better

    To each his own method. Computers are way faster at locating and finding the needed service information opposed to multiple paper manuals. Paper manuals contain outdated service info. The older the service info the worse the chances of having incorrect information. Around my shop you would get your hand slapped for using saved or printed troubleshooting information. But I understand the old school feel and method of paper.

    when I finally get it printed out it will be in a binder with plastic dividers between each section, I’d rather get paper greasy or drop paper then an expensive tablet.

    You mean multiple binders

    If you print out every page it's going to be around 2 feet tall

    2 binders since pages will be printed double sided. One for engine, trans etc, the other for paint, frame, suspension etc.
