Printed for the manual...no doubt...I do have a laptop, but desk/worktop space and dirt...oil/grease...combined with laptop can be an issue...paper everytime!

Being given it on CD feels like the cheap option to me, modern maybe, and I understand saving cost for you guys as well...but I don't carry a laptop around to clubs/races, but I do carry the paper manual around with me everywhere...might not use it much, but it's that moment of desparation/highest stress that you want it to hand the most!

Feels like higher quality / better value, and infinately more convenient!!!

Sounds as though your printing them yourselves?

You mould in large batches, can't you print in the same way and get it done by a print shop...there are loads about resulting in really competitive pricing these days?

I know XF is only a relatively small business, but in my experience it proves to be much cheaper overall and less hastle than running a laser printer, the materials and consumables and your time for printing anything more than 10's of anything! Spend more time developing than printing....it's much more fun for you and us

Or is the cost actually not that low?
