Do any of you use online vendors for your paper stock?
 
If so any good suggestions or reasons you do not.

When I was ordering said supplies I found that using an on-line vendor was good.
First selection and price was better than local vendor, discounts for multiple rolls, etc.
We were also getting other office/drafting related supplies from them as well.
Although I must wonder how many drafting pens or points anyone actualy sells these days?

Downside, if you do not order in a timely manner you run out...

We use Steven Enterprises, I don't know how their pricing compares, but they are good in that they track your average usage and call to remind you if you need to order paper or ink. Not a pushy sales call, just a quick simple check in.

we get our rolls locally -- not online.  two reasons mostly, (a) our usage is generally low so there's no point in tying up resources storing lots of paper for the odd big run of prints (we can always send them out for less money) and (b) we want to help keep the local guy in operation so we can make use of him when needed. 

as well, the vast majority of my print jobs are AnsiB, and the laser printers handle them nicely.
