Printing off my tree

Every now and again I like to print my tree off but it takes reams of paper. Is there a way of condensing it but still being able to read it??

Thanks!!

Am I going to have to use lots of sheets and cellotape them together?

If you have lots of people in your tree then I think that is what you will have to do. I havent printed mine off and I have only about 300 people. It would have taken quite a few pages to print.

Agreed also if you try to print the records off it seems to take lots of extra information too, or maybe I'm just doing soemthing wrong !

I had our tree printed off as a gift to my darling sister. It has about 700 people in and covers 30 odd generations back to 1014.
It is 33 feet long and 3 1/2 feet wide. Thats an awful lot of A4 sheets.
I used genealogyprinters.com which is run by a chap named Ron. I would recommend you to do likewise, it will cost about £30, or else you'll only spend the cost in ink cartridges and paper anyway.
