    I use it a lot for construction. Printed job specs are much easier / faster to deal with than a computer on a job site. You can staple them to a wall, quickly draw on them, use them when your hands are filthy, have multiple large copies floating around, etc. Paper is usually just a better solution for that environment.

      That’s an environment I hadn’t really thought about. I concede the point.

      Take a look at a Canon PIXMA TR150.

      There are plenty of other brands that make this same style, this was just the first I found.

      Now if only they had a small portable printer like that that did 11x17

      Reading blueprints off 8x11 is damn near impossible unless you blow them up
