[GreenKeys] Where do you buy TTY Paper rolls

[Henning Treumann]

Here in Germany we did two bulk orders of teleprinter paper at local
paper roll producers in the past. I did not manage it myself but as I recall
the quantity was each abt. 500 rolls.
They made us the paper to our demands, even with custom printed blue TELEX
- TELEX - TELEX
at the left and right margin.
Price was reasonable abt. 5 EUR per roll.

We wanted bright white paper.
Canary yellow was never used in Germany.

Another bulk order was also for punch paper 17.4mm and strip printer paper
9.5mm
