They sell 1300 sheets for $39.00. I buy my 8.5 by 11 from American Thermoform. I think it is $32.95 or thereabouts. Not as many places carry the smaller paper. Can I interest you in a good translator??? David Andrews ...

Steve, Anyone can buy aids and appliances, braille paper etc., from the NFB. You should send payment with order to them at 1800 Johnson Street, Baltimore, MD 21230.

Index Number: 9784 [This is from the Blink Talk Conference] For the past few years I have been buying my Braille paper from a local office supply paper company. Although I haven't checked the prices of Braille paper recently, I recall when I began doing this that it saved me a lot of money. I paid $4.25 this week for a ream of 250 sheets. This is the 8 and a half by eleven size and is the weight of the heavy white Braille paper. It isn't punched, however, but I've had it punched by a print shop for a little more. I happen to have my own three hole punch at home so that saves even more. Perhaps this is really only a savings of two or three dollars off the A P H price for 500 sheets but at least I don't have to wait several weeks to get it. Additionally, if I by ten packages at one time the price drops to only $3.70 per ream of 250 sheets. You might be able to duplicate these prices by just taking a sheet of the Braille paper you currently use to a local office supplier and show them what you need. If I used a lighter weight paper, it would probably even be less expensive. Phil. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!104!810!Phil.Scovell Internet: Phil.Scovell@f810.n104.z1.fidonet.org

Index Number: 12598 [This is from the Blink Talk Conference] According to the last Braille Monitor, paper for the Blazer, the 8.5 by 11 inch paper, is not available from the NFB. This is of course tractor feed paper. A box of 1100 sheets costs $25.00. Send orders to Materials center, NFB 1800 Johnson Street Baltimore, MD 21230 You can call 301-659-9314 if you need more info. I also understand that american thermoform has dropped prices on all its computer paper with 11 by 11.5 paper in boxes of 100 sheets going for around $30. It is nce to see the competition.

Index Number: 13902 [This is from the Blink Talk Conference] What would you all think of this: Braille paper, normal braille page size, with tractor feeds, and holes for 3 ring binders, at 1.1 cents per page? Let me know--oh, the paper is lightweight, 20 pound, but doesn't wear unless really abused. No, you wouldn't put NLS books on it, but for your own stuff its perfect. Let me know what you all think. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!109!143.0!Al.Hoffman Internet: Al.Hoffman@p0.f143.n109.z1.fidonet.org
