Funny enough, - the price at atlex is the same - for roll or sheet paper (per sq. ft.). I am amazed how carefully the price is scaled for different sheet sizes and rolls (at least for those that I've checked). For the most part, - I don't see much of a problem of per-sheet handling on R2880. Sat Jan 23 18:55:55 CST 2010 P N Stenquist wrote: > I''ve tried roll paper, but don't like it.

And indeed, some of the paper doesn't come in rolls, or at least 13"-wide ones. What about paper cutters? What do people use (to cut from 13"x19")?
