Copy paper is cheap. Ten ream (5000 sheets) package is $38 at Amazon. I waited for a flash sale and got it for $19.99. Keep items you want in the save for later list and when the price changes you'll get a notification.. I pay for wi fi so I make it work for me... I'll never run out printing patterns. LOL The toner cartridge prints 2500 pages and is very inexpensive compared to ink jet ink. The grands want to print or make copies of their hands, faces, drawings, no big deal. Print away.
