I would probably print the map separately anyway (e.g. because it's colorized while everything else is b/w). I would print the normal pages on A4 with two pages per side, double-sided and probably even using something fancy like brochure layout ideally on a fast laser printer. And I would print the map on good inkjet paper with an inkjet printer. Regards, Ingo ~~~~~~ Manage your subscription at //www.freelists.org/list/projectaon
