Are Paper Editions of the Manuals available?

Is it possible to buy an actual printed "dead tree" edition of the Operation or Parameter Guides? If not, does anyone know how much it would cost to have them printed at Staples or wherever? I couldn't find anything about it on the Korg US website.

Yes I know I must seem like a dinosaur, but I've always preferred flipping through a paper manual. (I don't read ebooks either- all my books are made from wood pulp. I picked up the phrase "dead tree edition" from a Charles Stross novel) It's much more convenient than using a laptop and scrolling thru screens. So far I've printed out about a dozen very useful pages for my own reference.

Here's a UK-based firm as an example:

https://www.doxdirect.com/document-prin ... -printing/

Around GB£5.00 for 50 pages, spiral bound, with card front and back covers.

Just search for "printing services pdf to A4"

High likely not ... the same discussion was going on for Kronos parameter guide which is more than 1,000 pages.

Only the start guide (and maybe operational guide) are delivered in printed means by Korg.

Also take in mind that sometimes (especially for Kronos) the manuals get updated regularly so printing them renders old versions useless.

It's not as good as a manual, but if you can find a cheap large tablet, doesn't have to be the latest model, just wifi to download PDF's and have it next to the Cross, I have an IPad3 just for that reason. Or any tablet.

There are inexpensive laser printers out there now as well, even the ones that don't do duplexing can duplex, (most will guide you on how to flip the paper over).
Then a trip to Staples or any Office Supply store for binders.

Or like other people have said, go into a store like Kinkos and have them print and bind it for you.
