[GreenKeys] Paper and ink-ribbon supplies

[Pete Lancashire]

For your 35 a note

It is my understanding (and love to know otherwise) 35's with pin-feed had
different width paper depending on the option

For pin-feed paper, if you all ready have some, the 'size' is the full
width, not the printable area.

The most common is  9-1/2". giving one 8-1/2" printable area. of the two
pin-feed 35's I have, the paper is 8-1/2".

Keep you eyes open and and ask friends who frequent thrift stores to look
for boxes of the paper, here in Oregon
you usually see the boxes for around $5 to $10. I haven't but I at least
one other found a box of 8-1/2"
