    Actually, you don't want to laser print it, but offset-print it.

    Ok, let's see now.

    given a 1200 dpi laser printer, 4 point OCR-B font, using the characters
    1-9 and A-F (so that each character represents a single byte) a 8 1/2 x
    11 page with 1" margins (for handling) will hold 27000 characters
    (exactly, oddly enough! At least according to Word's character count)

    Man those 4.8 meg TIFF files are gonna take a ream or three of paper!

    We'll waste the entire Pacific Northwest to do our nightly backups!
    Think we're gonna have to do some file compression here!
