Effective June 1, 2017, the price of the university鈥檚 base office paper will increase by 5%. Prior to this increase, the price of office paper for 鲍鱼tv departments has remained unchanged for three years. The current price change is in response to increased manufacturing costs across the paper industry, and passed along by the university鈥檚 contract supplier, OfficeMax Grand & Toy.

This increase applies to 100% recycled 20 lb. white copy paper supplied through Printing Services for use in departmental printers and multifunctional devices across all campuses.

鲍鱼tv has adopted a Paper Policy which includes a commitment to the use of 100% post-consumer recycled paper as the university鈥檚 base paper, along with recommendations to reduce the environmental and economic footprint of paper use. To help offset paper costs, please ensure that print devices are defaulted to duplex printing and copying, and utilize the scan-to-email functionality on multifunctional devices to support the electronic transmission of documents.

The most economical and sustainable option for regular office paper continues to be 100% post-consumer paper procured through the university鈥檚 fine paper contract, which can be ordered through Printing Services.
