Oggidoggi -> About the UV manual... (5/21/2002 3:39:08 AM)
YEA!!! I recieved my copy of UV today! Now I only have one problem... How do you have the manual printed out at a printing shop if the UV manual is inexcessible except when UV is installed onto your computer? Am I going to have to burn the manual to a writeable CD, since the UV manual will not fit on a floppy disk? Tell me this isn't so! Hopefully I'm missing something. Any clearification would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yep as far as I know that is what needs to be done. I just did it and sprial bind it at staples. As for the print shop goes I live in NYC and its a $1 per page in these parts so at a 130 pages thats not an option for me. I finally got it done on a inkjet and $2.50 at staples for the binding. A hassle but Im all set.

IF you don't have a CD-RW or ZIP disk, use Winzip disk spanning to zip it across 4 or 5 floppies. Some printshops will even let you email it to them for an extra buck or 2

I can print the color pages myself if I really want to...

When I tried to print the manual to a b/w laser printer, the background "UV" became a BIG UGLY "UV" that blacked out a good chunk of the page. Am I stupid or am I missing something here?? It works just fine on a color laser....

Whew! I went to [url]www.kinkos.com[/url] and uploaded the UV manual to their website. Now I'll be able to pick up my bound copy of the manual tomorrow morning and it only cost $14.85 US. Thanks for the idea Paul Vebber! p.s. I called the local kinkos to make sure the background UV on each page wouldn't be a problem and they said it would print just fine.

From the Adobe print screen, select "Print as Image", the "UV" will then print in a quarter tone as intended. Paul

I have only had the game 4 hours and I am impressed with the manual. PDF was the way to go, keep doing them that way Matrix. If someone needs a high quality tree-killing, expensive paper manual instead of an interactive, high tech pdf version, go print it out. I probably will print out a b/w version at work, its too big to print on my home printer, that's ALOT of ink. Someone said it is too big to fit on floppy or email - I copied the manual file to a RW CDROM and that way I can study it at work on my breaks on my work pc. :p

Oggidoggi -> Oh well... (5/22/2002 3:02:34 AM)
Apparently it isn't meant to be. Kinkos cannot print the manual. I uploaded it twice, but for some reason they cannot print that format. The woman I spoke to at Kinkos said that she wasn't sure why it wouldn't work. Bummer. So much for having some good bathroom reading material!

Marc von Martial -> (5/22/2002 3:06:27 AM)
PDF is a standard and that even in pre-press they should have no problem printing it. Maybe you can be more specific on what problems they have?

ccoul -> Hmmm (5/22/2002 3:09:03 AM)
Might have been operator error at Kinko's. I got mine printed up at Kinko's and there were no problems. In fact according to the Kinko's home page. PDF's are one of there prefered formats. Chris

Oggidoggi -> (5/22/2002 3:15:07 AM)
Hi Marc, I'm not sure what the problem was, since the woman gave me such a convoluted reply. The manual worked fine on their computer, but then stopped printing on the copier after the first couple of pages. Does seem rather strange.

Oggidoggi -> (5/22/2002 3:17:28 AM)
Hi ccoul, Did you upload the file on the internet to Kinkos or did you burn to a CD and take it there yourself? My brother has a disk burner maybe I could do it that way.

ccoul -> Answer (5/22/2002 3:56:32 AM)
I burnt a CD. Took it to them at 700am and walk out with it 7:15am. I had it bound and fancy cover put on the back and front ;) the total price was $14.38. Well worth it since my manual goes with me everywhere. :) Chris

[/B][/QUOTE] It is possible that the file upload didn�t work and the pdf file got corrupted during the transfer. I think the best solution is to get it personally to a printer.

Similar prices for the other 12 print shops I called. Please give me the telephone number or city where that Kinko is that charged $15 and took 15 minutes. Maybe I will drive there. :rolleyes: Maybe I misunderstood something. I am asking for them to print out 137 color pages from 6 pdf files. Did you guys do B&W? In the meantime I will try the kinkos.com web site. Maybe I will find some joy there. :) UPDATE: OK, Kinko's per page costs are as follows, 8 cents for B&W, 99 cents for color. That explains the difference between my quotes and your cost. You guys opted for black and white copies. :eek: Now the challenge. Where can I get a color paper version of this manual for about $15. Anybody?
