Title: Where can I get a hard copy of the Mission Aircrew Reference Text?
Post by: indygreg on May 27, 2010, 01:16:23 AM
Does one even exist????  I was hoping not to have to use up all of my ink in my printer, but I may not have a choice.

At 288 pages, it's kinda a bit much for Kinko'$..  that tend to think they are printing on gold lined paper, and are something special - with their pricing being absurd.

The big V doesn't stock this. If you have an account with one of these publish on demand services, maybe a few members might want one.

Probably about $20 to have done one-off.

Duplexed, 2-up, reduces that to 72 pages, still big, but more manageable.

Not really any reason it can't just be read electronically.

I would love to go to NESA, but all my vacation days have already been spoken for.  Maybe next year.

Are you looking for 8 1/2 x 11, or booklet size?

Yes. Preferably the little one though.

I'll check my price at the local Office Max. Normally not to much $. I just had six copies of the NESA Inflight Guide printed in booklet size, spiral bound, plastic cover front and back for around $15.00 per copy.

That's how I did my IFG, and it cost about that, printed on real nice cardstock.

Get some quotes for printing up the MART, it shouldn't be that ridiculous.

The NESA ones come in a pretty binder and all.

Idk, I'll ask when I'm up there, they usually only print up what they need for that year's class, as the MART tends to change and evolve little by little every year.

Checked Office Depot and FedEx, and both were around $30 for double sided with 3-hole punch.  Cheaper to read  from the .pdf, but not as convenient.  Decisions, decisions.......

Try online printers?  Will VistaPrint do it?

I can get you a copy.  It will be 2 pages per 8.5 x 11 sheet, front and back if that's ok.

Important thing is when you print it at kinkos or office max, make sure you specify black/white, and color for only those pages which really need it. If you specify color for all, then al of the pages (even the ones without color pictures) will be printed at the higher rate.
