[comp.sys.cbm] 1520 printer paper

Bruce.Vrieling@p0.f171.n221.z1.fidonet.org (Bruce Vrieling) (10/25/90)

I have tried posting on many local boards (Toronto area) with no 
success, so I'll try asking here. Does anyone know of a source for 1520 
plotter paper? I have been searching forever, and I can't seem to find 
that type of paper - 4 inches and 6 inches are available, but not 5 
inches, which is what I need.
 
Don't suggest Radio Shack - I checked.
 
Don't suggest chopping down a bigger size - I'll do that as a last 
resort only (gets kind of messy).
 
If you know of a place which sells paper you might put in an adding 
machine (the 5 inch variety), please let me know. Any leads on 
POSSIBILITIES would be appreciated also.
 
Thanks.
 
                       Bruce

Hi.......  maybe I can help, since I'm the gofer/bookkeeper/inventory/etc.
of the place I work at.   

Have you tried office supply stores?  Sometimes these stores will have what
you need AFTER you've tried everywhere else.  You may have to buy a lot.....
....but I think that's what you wanted anyway.  :-)

It's only a suggestion.......

Please post the information about paper for the 1520 plotter.
I too would be very interested.

I believe the actual size is 4.5 inches, not 5 inches.
I checked Radio Shack and found thermal paper that is
the right size, but way too expensive!! 

Can anyone help us????

(my 1520 is in perfect shape, but packed away 'cause
 I have no more paper.)

Radio Shack does/did sell the correct paper.  I have a 1520 plotter and
I have used Radio Shack paper, part number 26-1428, called Paper for CGP-115.
It comes in three rolls to a box and is 150 feet per roll, 4.5" wide.

Good luck finding it.  I bought mine several years ago.

P.S.  Thermal paper is the *wrong* stuff.

I couldn't find the original message to this thread, but I assume
someone is hunting for paper for a 1520 plotter.  My neighbor has one,
and I think Radio Shack used to carry useable paper.  It's been a few
years, but they might still have it.
