Tractor-feed paper

April 21, 2005 3:32 AM

Where in the UK (preferably online) can I buy tractor-fed paper for a dot-matrix printer?

I have just inherited an Epson FX-880 dot matrix printer, and amazingly it still works perfectly. I really want to keep it, since I can still buy new ribbons for just a few pounds, which makes it really good value for text-only print jobs.

But I want a stack of tractor-fed paper for it, the type that is lots of sheets joined together with perforations and holes down the sides to pull it though. (Bonus points if it has those green stripes on it too.)

My Google-fu is, however, failing me. I've tried Googling (and Froogling) for tractor paper, dot matrix paper, fanfold paper, z-fold paper, and I'm not finding anything.

You *must* be able to still buy this stuff.

(Oh, I should add that 'listing paper' was the term).

Best answer: Viking as well - I've used them recently, quick, efficient and also on-line

In the states, it is referred to as "computer paper." I realize that sounds vague, but that's what it says on the box.
