12 x 18 economy stock - cheapest paper for economic full bleed

[Jeff]

I'm looking for any tips on where to get 12" x 18" or 18" x 12" stock the most economically.

Currently my most economical 12 x 18 paper is International Paper Accent Opaque Digital 24#/60# for $35.40 per thousand sheets.

Anyone know of any 12 x 18 paper that is even more reasonable?

I found an even better source - A J & S paper has 12 x 18 International Paper Accent Opaque Digital 60# for $15.56/ream shipped or $31.12 per thousand sheets, shipped.

 

[Jeff]

I should add that I was initially hesitant to order from AJ&S because their website looks brand new and their about us page wasn't complete yet, but my first test order of 6 reams was shipped out the next day and arrived quickly.

Hmm, there should be a voting mechanism for price hunting stocks, with reviews and whatnot...

 

[Jeff]

This would be a great idea - I have not seen any such animal to date for pricing even common digital / copier stocks much less less common stocks that are hard to find.

On anything but a very small scale, one issue might be negotiated pricing.

And even on a small scale of a dozen reams here and there of specialty paper, shipping costs and flexibility will make it more difficult than creating a price-matrix for other things.

Looking again for some alternate sources of economy 12 x 18 or 18 x 12 uncoated stock, 24/60#. Accent opaque has gone up 25% in the past year and a half from $30/1000 sheets to $38/1000 sheets (including shipping) -- I would like to find a slightly more economical stock. Any suggestions?

Check out XpedX. 12 x 18 Accent Opaque for $23.00/m

Thanks Dan -- will give them a call. I used to get some specialty paper from them 5 years ago but somehow didn't think to call them. Much appreciated! Time to get back on board with them.

I know this paper is reasonable but we are non-profit so my prices will differ, just tell Adam that Keith at Agronomy sent you and maybe he can help you out.
