can anyone recommend a paper vendor, distributor or store in nyc or brooklyn? specifically looking for whoever handles weyerhauser at the moment.
office depot used to carry astrobrights in full range, but quit carrying most colors in tabloid and the only other online spot i'm finding charges $20 per ream to ship it!
any ideas apprecaited.

i've looked at most of these places and none have the 11x17 in the red. office max, office depot and staples carry it in a few brights (typically the orange, blue and yellow), but not the red and they can't special order it. kinkos also pulled this from their inventory in tabloid and can't special order it. staples own brights don't come in tabloid or i'd grab their version.
i typically went through unisource or xpedx in the midwest, but without retail warehouses nearby, they don't serve nyc or have like a 10 case minimum.
all the art supply stores up here (central, blick, sam flax, ai friedman, pearl paint) carry mostly fine art papers - strathmore and the like - not any office papers aside from blick's small selection of mix and match stationery.
thanks for the links on the other spots. bookmarked!
the search continues.

down around varick where all the printers are (or at least used to be) there are a couple of warehouses that have assloads of paper and just sell to the printshops around. i used to go there with my printer to select paper. sorry i don't know the address, but maybe if you talked to some printers down there they could help you out.

JAM paper in midtown manhattan.
Not the best, but pretty good.

right on. i'll try down there.
tried JAM as well.. that's the first place i looked after the office supply stores. they have everything! (but what i need)

finally found it at paper presentation, but i'm waiting on a quote. judging by how they sell in packs of 50 in their shop, i'm guessing it'll be way too fuckin high.
looks like $20 shipping on amazon might be the cheapest/quickest way.
