Am I the only one who sees people dimming D-size prints to fit A-size binders?

I was at a shop over in Portland last month and watched a guy shrink a 24x36 plan down to fit a 8.5x11 binder. He lost all his dimension callouts and the notes were unreadable. Why not just fold it right or use a proper job folder instead of making the print useless?

That guy in Portland basically turned a usable drawing into a fancy coaster. On big projects I always tell people to just get a proper 24x36 binder instead of ruining the print.

Binders are the way to go for sure. I've seen too many people tape prints to walls or fold them weird and then wonder why they can't read the details later. Those fancy coasters might look good for a minute but they're worthless once you actually need to reference something. A good binder keeps everything flat and organized, plus you can add notes right on the sheet protector. Makes way more sense for anyone doing real work. Why would you spend time making something you can't use?

One friend ruined a set he laminated, couldn't flip pages.
