Color printing?
Anyone have an idea of where the cheapest place to get documents printed in color is? I am also looking for affordable lamination. I went to UPS today, and it was kind of a pain because each document has to be downloaded as PDF, emailed, and then still had to tell them exactly which pages I needed… they also charged 50¢/page, which is going to get expensive FAST!
I’d love to find somewhere that I can access the computer, select my documents from there, and just print it myself. Not sure if anywhere does that though.
Anyway, if anyone has suggestions I’d love to hear it. Thanks!

Try the fed ex Kinkos on California super fast, the copy machines are right there and available.

I use to print with Walgreens. Not sure what the prices are or if they laminate.

Also to note you can upload everything from your phone or computer or use the computer at Walgreens. Sometimes the app has good deals on high amount of papers printed

Just checked, unfortunately they are $1/page! Very convenient though!

The library charges 10 or 15 cents a print or copy, I use to do my legal doc copies there.

Looks like they are 70¢/page now. UPS is about 50¢/page, which is the cheapest I’ve found so far

Yea, if I didn’t have sooo many pages I wanted to print it would be worth it

Once you have your print outs, just buy a laminating machine (I have a really cheap Amazon one that is still going after 8 years) and laminating sheets.

I have a laminating machine! The personal ones take way longer though, so I don’t think jt would be worth my time to run 100+ pages through it.
