I'm checking (and seriously editing) a pretty scary 10 layer PCB layout. There is one ground plane and three power planes, and I just can't seem to visualize it all one screen at a time. So a couple of times a day I print every layer, so I can flip through them, and scribble edit suggestions.
To me at least, layers of paper are just a lot more comprehensible than a screen. It does take about 20 minutes to print them and mark the pour voltages, but it's worth it. Maybe I should put text on the actual layout, to ID each of the pours.
My layout guy is good, but I just can't explain all the tradeoffs to him, so I'm doing the last pass myself. I just push stuff around until it feels right, which is hard to convey to someone else.
One thing I'm doing is expanding all the power pours to totally pave over each power plane, so they are un-interrupted references for matched-impedance traces on adjacent signal layers.
