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

Ok, let me ask :-), could you share any other pros and cons about the
software? I'll be honest that the lack of an ability to print front and
back does not outweigh the time spent filing those once-every-two-week
paper updates.

Ah. Thanks for asking. :-)

Jeppview will print double-sided on printers which support it.
But the layout of which charts back which others is fairly inflexible.
It's not easy to arrange charts in the same sequence the paper charts use.
But that's not a big deal in my cockpit, where I use an MX20/ChartView.
I'm trying to rely less and less on the paper charts.
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.

Probably only because it's a 45-year-old habit. :-(
I'm working on it, though.
The enroute charts got relegated early to flight planning only.

The MX20 positioned high in my center panel is *at least* as convenient
as any paper chart holder I've ever used.
