Larry P or Steve B. you boys have probably the most experience with printing
out instructions. Your thoughts on the matter?

I print in B&W and also in color, but charge extra for color. I tend to make my
models in only a few colors (no more than 3-4 main colors at most) so the
various grays are distinguishable, especially since I use subassemblies, and I
describe the scheme of each subassembly separately in the intro, and often pack
the parts for each sub separately.
I think those things, taken together, help a lot. I am not sure that I have ever
seen color callouts the way Michael described them. But depending on your layout
program (I use MS Word for historical reasons) I suppose it could be done.
I am thinking about getting a color laser to avoid having to pay to get my stuff
printed in color but the price of supplies (which I haven’t seen coming down
much, not that I track it really carefully) scares me. B&W toner is bad enough!
(I print on an HP 2100, great little laser printer in my view)
Hope that helps.
