Just looking for normal printer paper to print out stuff from the 'puter, but don't think it justifies a long walk.

i'm on park place between franklin and bedford.

any ideas?

thanks in advance!

    I would just take the train or bus to Target if I were you.

    There used to be a copy shop on Nostrand between Park and Prospect, but not 100% sure its still open.

    Personally, I never go shopping for that stuff. I have Amazon Prime (free 2 day delivery). When I see I'm getting low, I order a pack. Same goes for ink, and any other stationary supplies.

    Discount stores are great for this.

    Mazon discount has a 6 buck ream. fiddy cents less than office max.

    Thanks all; I hoofed it over to the dollar store on the east side of Franklin close to Eastern Ave. They have mini-reams but I appreciate and like the suggestions, for delivery in particular.

    Thanks again.

    P.S. Printer cartridges are a nightmare; I have gone all the way to freaking Staples on the Gowanus-Slope border on my bike in the summer. Sure it was an excuse to procrastinate and enjoy a ride but a pain in the backside nonetheless. And Fourth Avenue down there is not what I would consider scenic.

    yep, i've been to park heights, i like it, it's got this nice-old-weird vibe; that's in a good way, and the staff is helpful and friendly. i don't think they have my cartridge type though. it's as if each of these ink canisters are hand-crafted in Murano to optimize their lack of standardization, despite their bespoke grandeur.

    Did you try the Office Max at Atlantic Center? Not that I think its such a great place, but it is a tad bit closer than the 4th Ave Staples and it has the standard big box selection.

    On a somewhat related note, does anyone use discount ink suppliers? Is it worth it? Is that a viable alternative to me giving HP $70 for each of the four canisters in my printer.

    Park Heights Stationers and Copy DOES have my printer cartridge, and therefore, Park Heights Stationers and Copy IS awesome. Kudos.

    There's a printer cartridge place on Fulton nr New York, I think. But I've never been inside.
