In my experience, Staples charged $2 extra for color printing.

For a 3' x 4' chart, B&W would cost be ~$12-$18, and colour would be $36.

I had eleven different charts to print out and the total cost became prohibitive.

I looked in the yellow pages and found a local blueprinting shop that would do the first plot for $0.50/sq ft and duplicates for $0.22/sq ft, for a cost of $6/genomap. 

My total bill was ~$75 including tax .. at Staples it would have been over $150.  Kinko's was even more expensive than Staples, so I'd recommend calling around unless it's not worth your time.

You can print directly from your home to Staples (and probably to Kinko's).  I printed posters of 24" x 36" directly from GenoPro.  See Printing a large genealogy tree poster at a print shop.

1. Google "CutePDF Writer" and install the free version on your machine.  This will allow you to produce PDF output.

2. Figure out how big you want your genomap ...  36" x 48"?   24" x 36"?  how big?  Do you want Portrait or Landscape?

3. Use the Page Setup settings to set the right zoom to make use of as much of the page as possible.  The Print Area should be highlighted in blue.

4. Use the CutePDF writer to create a PDF file of your tree.  You may need to go in and set the paper size to Custom to match what you selected in step 2 above.

5. Take (email) the PDF file to your university's printing services, a Staples/Kinko's, or a blueprinting shop to have them plot it on the size of paper you want.  Call around because prices can vary widely, particularly if you want to print it in colour.
