subject: Finding Economical Copy Paper [print this page] Now that you understand how important paper is to an organization, it also makes sense that it is the single biggest workplace product purchase each year (don't count machines like printers as they are an one time cost).
When searching for paper, selling price should invariably be a consideration, but not the only factor. Otherwise, you'll most likely lose some print quality for price. You are probably better off trying to find a happy medium between selling price and quality.
