More about the 'book form' of the guide shipped to you
(don't forget you also get to download it)

Your guide will be printed out on a Brother 4070CDW Color Laser printer. It will be in full color, and double sided. I use bright white 28lb paper, so there's no bleed-through. The pages have a quality feel to them, they're not flimsy.

Finally, I use a 3-hole punch and put it in a 2-inch 3 ring binder, so there's plenty of room to turn the pages.

I use the USPS (US Postal Service) to ship. Your guide will come in a box, most likely with newspaper for padding. You can expect it in about a week.

If you want to print it out yourself, you will go through your entire color cartridge(s) if you're using a typical inkjet printer, and your black cartridge will take a severe hit as well. A few customers have 'spot printed' a few critical sections, by selecting only certain pages to print.
