the big problem with qrcodes is they're only good for 1024 characters or so. at least the software I tried only let me make a text string that long but not longer. that's not good enough. I need way more than that.

This site puts the maximum at 4296 alphanumeric characters.

Further, you can print multiple pages if you need more data (split it up and save each chunk as a QR code) and even adjust for less pages (but more error-prone due to smaller squares) or better readability in the future, but using more pages. I would never trust 27 pieces of paper of plain text without checksum or error correction. The probability that a corner catches some humidity and rots away or similar, is too high. There are even insects and stuff that destroy paper.
