Hi All

As part of a diploma course, I have about 2000 pages of colour text that I need printed.

Just wondering if anyone knew of anywhere on-line cheap, who I could just send all the PDF's to and then get them sent back to me.

Ideally they need to be fairly good quality as it is lots of photos.

That's a lot of pages! University printshops will be your best bet, as they will have done this sort of thing before and also offer relatively reasonable rates. Most uni printshops dont mind which uni you are from so just find one which can do it. For that amount of printing theyll probably use a colour laser copier, and cheaper if you want duplex (boths sides of paper printed).
 
TWO THOUSAND? A4? COLOUR? MENTAL.

When you do find somewhere please post back with what its for and how much it cost. I need to feel good about electronic copies and my carbon footprint.
 
it's probably cheaper to buy your owncolour laserjet
and then buy another one when the toner that comes with the printer runs out
and repeat

seriously, why do you need 2,000 colour A4 pages?
have you thought about making the text black?

surely your Uni can give you advice on where to print it, seeing as you won't have been the first to do this. if you are the first, then maybe you should rethink your situation
 
Its for a dermatology diploma. Each module is about 60-70 pages, and there are about 30 modules. They have lots of colour photographs, and so the quality is important. Its a distance learning diploma, and the uni is cardiff, and I live in london, so going into the uni prob isnt viable.

Am really thinking about getting buying a colour laser printer - any recommendations ?

Getting a decent colour laser probably isn't worth it though. Ring some print shops around you, but as people have said, it'll probably be cheaper at a university around you.

You've then got the joy of posting four reams of paper too then?!
 
I can do this 12p per page, i can only staple stuff together though and there is a 50 page limit on stapled sheets.

HP 1515 is one I've been looking at, but that's because it's cartridges can be refilled cheaply.
Check out which printers have cartridges that can be refilled before deciding which one to purchase. (search for toner refills)
 
So essentially you want to print out the slides for your "lectures"? In which case why not just look at them on your computer like most sane students? :confused:
