ImageWriter paper - where do you buy from?

Any tips on buying self-feed paper? Such as office supply chains or online (not eBay please). Or how about labels? Thoughts? I have been working on an ImageWriter One and will be putting it into service for invoices, labels, etc. Picked up two new ribbons today for it but the office supply house had to order - and they can order paper, but its a tiny local place and they charge a lot.

For now I am self-feeding paper which works fine. Labels I dont have on hand. Sad I threw a bunch pf paper and labels away many years ago.

Government surplus stores, thrift stores, places that sell used office equipment would be my go-tos for tractor feed paper. Professional printers may have scraps too- if you don't mind multipart form paper.

Surplus stores, never thought of that one. Very few around here, but I will have to hit some up.

Check Craigslist, and/or put an ad on Craigslist yourself.  Might even get it for free, who knows?

Most office supply stores (OfficeDepot, Staples, etc.) still sell tractor-feed paper. They might not carry it in all stores, but you can certainly buy it from their websites.

Some of the larger second hand stores still sell cartons of fanfold when it comes in but Office Depot or a similar office supply chain will have it. It did cost me $60 for a carton of wide margin fanfold but that's something like 900 pages. It will take me a while to go through that.

School surplus. A buddy of mine who works at a school gave me an entire box of tractor feed paper for Christmas one year.
