I agree with that but not the saving paper bit. The photocopier and

But who had time to wait for all those 20 copies to print?

 
You're joking right? You've never turned up to a printer only to find
that the previous several people have yet to collect their prints and
you have to find out where yours end and theirs starts in the hopper?

I set up our printers with banner pages on different coloured paper, where
I could.
