I took a prescription to Walmart yesterday, an A sized sheet, and the first 
thing they did was make a copy of it. I would estimate this took about 12 
times as much paper as the same process did several years ago.  The 
prescription had microfine printing on it which takes a 10 power loupe to 
read. So I am quite sure the copy they made had some severe degradation.
