Red Doc Chili Papers - Print Docs Then and Now
summary
Print documentation stays useful where connectivity or permissions fail: mine sites with haul trucks, teachers needing one‑page logon steps, and aerospace trainers who can’t see cleared data. Practical specifics: choose A4 or US letter and follow the rule of four for folds, put date and version in the footer, plan for pages being removed or lost, expect fewer printers despite cheaper colour, design mini table‑of‑contents per chapter, and follow index conventions like nouns plural in the index.
