Good news for those, who are designing their layouts on the computer! I printed my 3x7 N scale layout yesterday in full size on one sheet of paper at Kinko’s. $12 for a black & white printout. Not bad, huh? I downloaded Kinko’s free “File Prep Tool” from their web site. After you install it, you’ll have a new Kinko’s printer on your computer. I used 3rd Planit for my layout and printed from there, but this should work with any Windows application. You’ll have to play with the print settings (orientation, size, margins etc), but you’ll get a preview window. When the preview looks right, save it to a floppy and head over to Kinko’s. The widest they can print is 36”, but as long as you want. If your layout is wider, you might have to print two rows and tape them together. Also allow for small margins, so nothing important gets chopped off. They charge 50 Cents per square foot for B&W, more for color. Here's a screenshot and some pictures of the printout that I took yesterday: [img]http://nscalers.com/images/3rdplanit.jpg[/img] [img]http://nscalers.com/images/bench1.jpg[/img] [img]http://nscalers.com/images/bench2.jpg[/img]
