With Papiro you can print the full Moby-Dick by Herman Melville (22.314 lines / 1,3MB plain text) in just 15 pages. It is easy:
./papiro.sh -c moby-dick.txt -z
About 101 pages would be required to print it with a 6pt font size (average minimum readeable size, while for an good OCR should be at least 9pt) in a multi column document, without taking advantage of any error correction. Spot the differences:
Ok, you can't read it at a glance, but has a nice nerd factor :)
If you are a real paranoid archivist feel free to increase the error correction level, but you have to invest even 34 pages:
./papiro.sh -c moby-dick.txt -z -lH
Expensive, but suitable for a military-grade disaster recovery plan for the Great American Novel.
