    Default Copy paper

    Does anyone know of any moderate (because good is not likely) 20lb copy paper that an administrator could be convinced to buy? I'd guess not, but different brands feel different and I wondered if anyone had a 20lb copy paper that was tolerable.

    Does it say Sustainable Earth on it? I went to my local Staples and the closest I could find is their 100% recycled copy paper and that seems to do rather well.

    The Sustainable Earth copy paper is "online only" for both the case and the ream sized item. Free shipping to store, and I think some people get free shipping direct also but I don't know why (rewards card use, or only during certain sale periods, or what).

    Staples has a few Sustainable Earth paper products that are the sugar cane waste paper that are "online only"; some of them used to be found in the stores.

    We get free shipping from Staples at work by meeting some sort of yearly minimum. Once you meet it they'll even ship a single item out for free...no minimums. If you're in an office this fountain pen friendly copy paper one is perfectly fine for copiers and cheaper than most other brands. So maybe you can all sell your bosses on good cheap paper....while procuring some readily available fp paper for yourselves.
