Default Printing off Jepp charts: What paper do you use?

It's a difficult habit to break.


Why is it difficult to break the paper chart "habit" when you have that
cockpit chart display?

Is the display difficult to read compared to paper for the "nitty
gritty?" Or, is the chart scan more difficult than with paper?

I've heard that is a pretty good electronic chart display, but I have
wondered about its position (on the panel as opposed to the electronic
equivalent of a chart holder).

If you're happy with the MX20 ChartView display, then it seems carrying
in 8.5 x 11.0 the print outs of the most critical charts for your
particular operation (and having them accessible, if necessary) would be
more than sufficient.
