Does anyone know of a convenient source for thermal printing paper to fit the HP-19C?

thanks,

Staples sells it on their web site, not in their stores. It's their part number: PMF5228. $4.76 for 5 rolls.

It works fine but is only 14 feet versus HP's 30 feet.

Another thing you can do is buy wider rolls and cut them to the proper width. It helps to have good tools to get a nice even edge. If it is not rather even, the paper tends to wander around a bit and may even jam. I saw a gizmo that a guy built that looks like a flat bottom "U" with a razor blade in the middle. It had a spindle for holding the roll and a flat piece for holding the paper flat against the bottom of the "U". It was build out of hobby shop balsa and plywood. With it he could split three inch wide rolls into two perfect 1.5 inch wide ones... I've been threatening to build one for quite a while now... but my HP19 paper has not run out yet and I'm lazy.
