Printing PDF products

I've acquired quite the collection over the last few years... but I have had lukewarm success at best with the quality of printing them to paper.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried and true success stories?

Any special paper type, weight I should try? I've a Laser printer at home and access to a Color Laser at work.

Print to brochure paper or place in plastic protectors?

I think I will try coil binding some RQ stuff unless someone steers me to the perfect solution?

I work for a printing company and we have a "Digital Press" which is a fancy way of saying a very good quality Xerox machine to which you can print (240/250 is the model). I typically run my stuff on glossy paper similar to what the commercial books come in. If I don't have any of the glossy cut down to size and I'm too lazy to cut it myself or my cutter operator is too busy for me to interrupt for personal stuff, I'll use regular 20# copier paper for it.

Both work well, however the glossy paper gives some amazing quality.

I have a comb binder at home, but I either take and have our bindery department make me up 3 ring binders to put them in, or take them to the local Office Depot and have them coil bound, depending upon what my mood is that day.
both solutions work well.

If you can get some paper from a local printer (take and show them a commercial gaming book to give them an idea of the paper you want), you might give that a try in your office laser
