I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I couldn't find one that matched this topic, so I just decided to ask the question here.

I have a 525-page PDF document that I need to print in color and relatively good quality without breaking my infinitesimal bank balance. What would be a good option for me?

if its school/work related use one of there printers, if you take it anywhere else its going to cost at least $50 or better. If you can get away with out color it will be a good bit cheaper, and the library would be a good place for that.

Although should it even be used there? Both school and work are not plural... Gets tricky from here on in.

in BHowett's usage...i think school and work are used to reference the collective known as school and work...not the location of school and work....the location "A school" is singular...but the collective usage of "school" (i.e. all the peeps that are in A school) would constitute a plural....in particular i would imagine the statement actually would reference "the school/work IT department/administration" (who could be determined as the owners of the printer...and are quite probably plural in nature)...so by saying "their" with regard to the printer(s) located at school/work...the owner of the printer isn't the singular school/work facility/location...but more likely the owner is the IT group of said location

Back to the original question, you should print it wherever you're required to have it. No one at home is going to have to have a 525 page color copy of a PDF. My guess is that this is either for work or school in which case I agree with Brian (grammar notwithstanding). Print the document on their dime. They require it, they can pay for it.

Yes I was wrong using there, it should have been their. However dsenette is correct, and it should be used in that sentence. Also I didn’t capitalize my i in if so some may say its not a sentence either. :)

I like dsenette's idea the best, I must admit :) However, I'm pretty sure that's illegal, haha.

I think I'll just pay to print it. It's a textbook that's now in the public domain, and it probably cost more than what it would cost to print it while it was still in print.
