Does anyone know where 132 column (14x11) white
(blank) fanfold
paper is still available? Bowater used to make it years ago, but
has since sold that business off...
A petty correction:
It's 14 7/8, NOT 14. (15 7/8 including the edges).

The nominal size sold here is 14 7/8. But I suppose that anywhere that
you go, there are some people who round off such things ("Give me
some of that striped stuff that's a few feet wide"). Around here, the
box always says 14 7/8
You ARE right that that is INCLUDING the tearoffs - 13 7/8 without, 14 7/8
with. I got sloppy with the fact that with narrow paper (8.5"), the
nominal size is without the tearoffs. (9.5" with the tearoffs)
BTW, there ARE papers available wider than 15". But not at Chumpusa.
You have to go to a place that handles large format computer forms.
