We spent five months last year going from Vancouver, BC up to Glacier Bay, Alaska and back and used the b/w NOAA charts extensively (coupled with a basic low-end Standard Horizton CP180 chart plotter and CMAP chip). I saved all the charts (PDF files) to a memory stick, brought them to a printer, and had them printed out. Can't remember how many charts we had printed, but it was a lot, and the bill came to $50.

Believe it or not, we taped them together! Not every day, just every couple of days we'd tape a few charts together with little bits of tape, charts we'd need for the next few days coming up. (In the pic, just as we were doing our "arts and crafts", our five year old daughter was too, mimicking us ) It's actually less of a pain than you might think...it saved us many hundreds of dollars on paper charts we'd likely never use again --couldn't justify the cost of new charts given how many we needed-- and, as we sat to tape sections together, it "forced" us to look at the coast in detail, seeing where we might head to in the next few days (the BC/Alaska coast is very complex, geographically speaking).

Oh, btw, the charts lived most of the time in one of those ziploc-type vinyl envelopes/bags from West Marine (for use in the cockpit), or under a sheet of clear vinyl on top of the nav table down below. When route planning, we'd usually mark any dangers, etc. etc. on the chart with color pencils --or conspicuous nav aids as red/green, etc., since the chart is b/w and things like big fucking rocks that you want to avoid might not necessarily easily show up clearly...don't ask me how I know that

This worked for us...but might take some getting used to for the push-button navigator or tape-challenged types
