There are simply too many to print out at home.. And I'd prefer to have them on a sturdier kind of paper than my printer could handle.
If I were to take these to an office supplies store, how much do you think they would charge me to have these 342 pages printed out onto a somewhat durable type of paper? Actually I'd only need to purchase 171 sturdy pages but the cost of printing would include 342 pages.
Has anyone attempted this yet?
I'll probably investigate this sometime this week but I figured I'd ask the community and see if they've had experience in this.

Was this thread started in regards to the last comment I posted earlier on the "Just some thoughts, progress and all" (http://forum.koohii.com/viewtopic.php?pid=20765#p20765)?
I do use the printable flash cards from polarcloud.com, and I love them. Before I even began frame 1 on RevTK, I printed them all the way to 2042 - I had (and still have) a definite goal in mind: to learn all the kanji. I'm no superstar, like those who do 30-50 everyday, but I'm making my way through, and loving it.
I printed, painstakingly, the flash cards myself. I bought a bulk pack of Canon matte photo paper, and it works like a charm. I wouldn't recommend glossy photo paper - and definitely do not print them on regular paper.
I opted to not cut up the A4 paper into small individual flash cards, and in hindsight it was the right call. Each page has 12 kanji on it, and I try to do a page a day. As I work in the study section on this site, I also scribble down my story on the back of the polarcloud card. This way I have a hard copy to take with me on trips, and I love looking at my growing binder.
I also took a ruler and drew a line through the middle of the back of each card. I am currently writing my mnemonic/story for RTK1 on the top half, and when I do RTK2 I'll use the bottom half for readings or compounds. I may have to cut up the cards then and re-organize them then, but I'll make that call later.
Anyways, the cards are set up really nicely, and my kanji studies wouldn't be the same without them. While the website is an amazing resource, as a means, I like to look at my kanji cards as the fruits of my labours. Isn't learning kanji a labour of love for most of us anyways?
