[cdt-l] Printing Jonathan Ley's Maps

[Mike DiLorenzo]

It reallyhelps identify features such as where tree line begins/ends.$0.02...-d-low> From: at2002 at mac.com> Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2006 14:17:31 -0500> To: cdt-l at backcountry.net> Subject: Re: [cdt-l] Printing Jonathan Ley's Maps> > > On Dec 21, 2006, at 12:18 PM, Slyatpct at aol.com wrote:> > > In a message dated 12/21/2006 11:19:15 AM Eastern Standard Time,  > > at2002 at mac.com writes:> >> I'm working with a local print shop to find a way to cost effective> >> way to print out Jonathan's maps instead of spending hours of my time> >> in front of my inkjet printer and probably $80-$100 on ink  > >> cartridges.> > Well, you're right that it does take a fair amount of time, but I  > > spent less than $20 for 3 color inkjet cartriges and  $20 for 200  > > sheets of water resistant paper.> > Any idea how much time it took you?> > One advantage of printing at a print shop is that the ink is not  > water based.
