I want to buy 8.5x11" newsprint paper to run through my printer. 

In the past I've cut down the larger art supply sizes offered and
sized down sheets ripped from notebooks/sketchpads, but I'd rather
just have the sheets precut!

I want to buy in small quantities for personal use (100-1000) at a
reasonable price. Can you help me find any sources for 8.5x11"
newsprint? Thx

Hello elukas,

Thank you for your question.


Here are some sources that should be helpful for you:

All of these are ruled, but might work for you. Search for newsprint
when you land on the page:

http://www.discountofficesupplies.com/ce/shop/ui

Staples carries 9x12:

Lightweight Newsprint Drawing Paper, 9" x 12" 
Rough surface can be used with pencil, pastels, charcoal, and crayon. 
Acid free 
Recycled 32 lb. paper 


Lots of 9x12 and ruled or dotted 8.5 x 11 here:

Here is unlined, but 9 x 12 again:

This looks like a winner:

52-16100   Newsprint Plain 8.5x11 1000 sh/pkg   $6.70 

As you can see, there are a lot of sources for larger newsprint and
ruled newsprint. But the last link is the only one I could find for
8.5 x 11" plain in single sheets and hopefully will fill your need at
a very reasonable price of $6.70 per 1,000 sheets.


I trust my research has provided you with newsprint sources. If a link
above should fail to work or anything require further explanation or
research, please do post a Request for Clarification prior to rating
the answer and closing the question and I will be pleased to assist
further.

Regards,
