I work with my pc ... I do n ot print the charts ... and when is in sheets .. I scanned all ....
Now you must ask .... WHY?

1. Do not need use paper and save some trees .. of course ... we live in a borugh planet ... must save for the future!!

2. You can zoom bigger and bigger .... so you never have tired eyes!!! and is that why I LOVE REPAINT ... we have an option like the pícture bellow:
You can "illuminated" only the color you are using, you can see the other colors more vanished...
pm 1.JPG
Make a big zoom ...you can go til 400% of zoom
and here another tip : if you change the count of fabric from 14 to 5 ... you can use more zoom!!
pm 2.JPG
you can see better the backstitches .......
pm 3.JPG
Repaint is all to me!!

I honestly couldn't be bothered with faffing about with a pc for every stitch.  

I have magnetic boards, magnetic strips and highlighters.  I can sit comfortably to stitch.

And as for saving paper - well the speed I stitch at the saving in paper would be very minimal.

This is a great idea, GlassAngel, and I'm glad you're sharing it with others. It sure makes following the chart easier, especially when there are many colour changes - having the option to zoom and highlight is truly a blessing.
