Re: I've got a panther in my tank

Well, us amateurs don't print such large  documents.  The biggest I think
I've printed was about 80 pages, lots of color and a few graphics.  My
little 7 yr old hp deskjet was able to handle that.   If I am concerned
about the printer not accepting a large document  (like fewer pages but lots
of high res graphics) I'll just cut it in half and tell it to print pages
1-15 now and then 16-30 the next time, in which cases pages 15 and 30 would
be the first printed in each batch. Then you can just set one batch on top
of the other.  More or less the same thing, just in two steps.

Beyond that I've printed lots of quantities of individual pages a lot.  The
labels I make for bulbs are 4 to a page, so I might print 20 pages of a page
that has 4 varieties on it.

I've looked at the color printers at Office Depot, laser and ink, both are
way out of my price range, but would be great to have.
