Paper Problem

Post by edwardianclaret » Mon Jun 18, 2018 2:57 pm

I’ve been using 178mm x 226mm (if my ruler is to be trusted) lined and margined paper for a while now that I “obtained” from college before leaving. I’m starting to run out, and really want some more. Don’t have a clue where to buy more, can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Any recommendations on a place to look? Already been on the usual, ebay, amazon, etc.

Try measuring your ruler if it’s untrusted

Do you trust it though? Is it all in your head? Are you paranoid?

Just keep away from the slide and glide. Quilted is normally best.

Get some bigger paper & one of those "guillotine" devices. Careful with your fingers though, I saw a nasty accident with one of those a long time ago.

Try googling it, I did and came up with http://www.4roffice.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. There must be a US equivalent.

I used to be addicted to using a ruler but I had to draw the line somewhere.

I've got a 12 incher, but I don't use it as a rule.

I got into a fight with a ruler salesman, but I got the measure of him though.

I have loads and loads of 178mm X 226mm lined and margined, go through it like a cold meeting a fresh box of Kleenex, but you're not having any, it's my paper.
