I want to go ahead and have this monster printed since I am 3 exams away from being eligible, I plan on taking the remaining 3 before Dec 31, January 31 at the latest and testing in NPAC.

Where did you guys have yours printed. I've checked Officemax and Kinkos and its extremely high (even in black and white with no binder) Ideas? It would eat my poor inkjet print carts easily!

Staples was stupid-expensive, like $60. OfficeMax would have been less -- $30, I think? I had it done in black & white, three-hold punched, double sided. It's worth it -- you'll spend more in printer cartridges and in wear-and-tear on your printer.

I've been playing with it today and got it down to 45.00 at officemax so I may go that route.

i did mine at staples, i belive it was $.80 a page but was lucky enough to find on their website a 30% off coupon and had the whole thing printed, hole punched, and bound for under $40. is definately worth it, i needed something tangible that i could refer back to

I've got it downloaded on my iPad but I would like a hard copy version to tear thru. I seen Sheri Taylors video about breaking it in to sections and I think that is what I am going to do. I'm going to have it printed today so I can pick it up this week. I could start reading thru it at work because I have an hour down time between 2am -3am every morning.

I downloaded it on my iPad, but just dropped off the 18th edition to fedex to be printed. It was 60.00 but I need it printed to highlight and mark. I am just of that generation!

I printed the 17th and the revisions but that made me crazy.

It would really be nice if EC sent a hard copy to their students. with the amount of money that is paid for the cpne this would be a nice gesture. just my :twocents: for the day.

I think I was the last class that got a hard copy mailed to them by EC. Although all of the study guide is important you can print the sections with the critical elements and other sections that you want to refer to and not all of the sections.

I had my copy printed in B/W and bound at Office Depot for $42.

I used my home printer to print of my guide--still wasn't cheaper. I paid $52 for my black & color ink cart--minus paper...so, I think you had a good deal!
