Simply - I don't print my whole tree: far too much!
I use FTM to print selected bits, such as pedigree; or descendents of particular ancestors, which works well.

As Meles said, just a little at one time.
 Poor Berlin Bob, has spent hours trying to help me with a website......
So I am saving the pages, ready to go on-line in the mean time they are being printed off, with ancestor/descendant, relavant info stories etc with small (3/4 generations) of tree, to each person.
I've also themed and coloured each generation with family line.
The oldies in my family can't take to much info in one go, like we can. To look at a "whole" tree is bigger than the floor space.
The interested reply is "hmmm.... lots of people in our family". 
 Ask around office stationers, they often make into booklets, A4 size pages.
I have put mine into a "classy" scrap book. It has plastic pockets, acid free so not to spoil the photo's. Got together a "collage" of materials to add to the themes. Printed off in the fonts, for the era's.
A grown up's school topic really....... 
Lesanne.

Getting back to my Roots.
|
...It looks like the question everyone wants to know but have been tooooo frightened to ask......
I've tried always available to print out my Tree from FTM.....If I let it, it would run to about 40 or more A4 pages which have to be 'Glued' together in some semblance of order and look far from 'Pretty' believe me...
Sooooo, here is another 'Old Noob' putting his hand up hoping that there is some Smartass here who can shine the way forward.....
I bought a 'Family Tree' Scroll, it's about 3'x4', and although my calligraphy ain't tooo bad, the job itself is kind of daunting, and when and if I ever get everyone on it, then what?....that's why it's still in the cupboard... ...
Putting the whole 'Tree' on CD or DVD is a breeze....but what about putting it on your wall as well as the walls of interested Rellies....

My copy of FTM 2006 came with a free copy of Charting Companion.
It prints some great trees but there's no way to get more than a few dozen onto one piece of paper.
It does, however also put them into pdf format, with links to earlier ancestors.
I don't know whether it's still free or not but this link should show you some of the types of charts it produces.
