It’s wasted paper, wasted time, wasted printer ink, everything is a waste. With all those pages stacked on top of each other, the pages can become out of order quickly when not checked. One sheet of plain printer paper can create four sides, front and back, of pages. Especially since the average book needs several signatures.
But it isn’t that straight-forward when assembling pages for signature printing. In a signature (a batch of folded pages), they have to line up and, well, look like a regular book. The part that makes things tricky is the collation of the pages. It is a pain in the neck to bind printed documents and even worse when it comes to looking up how to do it because online searches assume you mean putting a book in a professional bindery or printing it for official distribution, like a regular book. I book bind by hand, something I’ve talked about before here.
