Purchasing Copy/Print Paper
On November 1, 2011, Staples Advantage became RIT’s official office products supplier. Since that time,
a few departments have contacted the PSO with questions about copy/print paper prices. The following
two selections are the recommended papers to purchase from Staples for standard print/copy use:
Staples ® Copy Paper
LETTER Size
92/104 US/Euro Brightness
20lb., 8.5” x 11.5”, 5,000 Sheets/CT
$27.85/CT
Part #135848
Staples ® 30% Recycled Copy Paper
LETTER Size
92/104 US/Euro Brightness
20lb., 8.5” x 11.5”, 5,000 Sheets/CT
$29.80/CT
Part #492072
Both papers are of comparable quality to the OfficeMax counterparts and Staples pricing provides a
significant savings to departments of $4.40 and $5.78 per case respectively. Based on total annual
university copy paper purchases, RIT will save approximately $23,000 per year by purchasing copy paper
from Staples. From feedback we’ve received, both papers work well in the majority of machines on
campus. The copy paper, along other office products, may be ordered online via
StaplesAdvantage.com®.
