Question might sound silly at first glance, but I'm a little lost.
Got monker ranges for any preflop scenario, 50 bb, 100 bb and 200 bb deep, including rfi, 3 bet, 4bet from any position. Which means its at least 100 sheets in total.
Obliviously there is a pattern, but it's hard to memorise each cut off point.
The only thing I can come up with is to print the whole thing out and play just one table for a while until i get used to the ranges.
How do you guys deal with this complexity?

First point: It is impossible to memorize the ranges are given by the solver — those things like "100 BB deep in CO facing raise from MP Call AQ 40% 3Bet 60%" are probably mathematically correct if you opponent is playing GTO My standard way is to modify my play to suit the opponent — so against an MP player that folds to 3Bet a lot, I will 3Bet, against one that doesn't I'll flat and similarly. I play more attention to the other players (and my notes on them) than I do to the charts.
Second point:
You could find a simulator the fires off a bunch of hands, and asks what you would do for each one, and compares your answer to a given GTO chart — It would help if you're using the same solver charts as the simulator. For some strange reason, GTO charts vary quite widely.
If you're using the charts while playing, make your best decision and then check the charts. Checking the charts before deciding is against the terms of service of some rooms. Also, making the decision afterwards gives you practice making the decision — if you check the chart first, you're not learning anything, you're just following a chart.
You should do it gradually and focus on finding patterns. For example first you should focus on RFI and realize that for example solver prefers opening K8s over 55. Then you go for 3bets and notice spots in which solvers 3bet merged and when polarized range. Where is threshold for merged range and what type of hands it uses as bluffs with polar 3bet. And so on. Dont try to memorize all frequencies correctly - its ok as long as you know that particular type of hands are mixing and base your decision on opponent you are facing.
Don't focus on everything. You will learn in time. First focus on most common spots/profitable.
Know opening ranges from btn/sb. BB defending ranges. Expand from there.
