Paper:
On the Shadyside and Eden Hall campuses, paper may be purchased directly from Office Depot online, where the University has negotiated a preferred price on 30 percent recycled paper. Paper purchases should be charged to each department’s paper budget line (7120). The Copy Center can also assist in ordering paper, particularly cardstock and colored paper as they have negotiated rates and identified the best vendors for these commodities.
For printing at the Eastside campus, paper is purchased and stocked by Ikon and passed on to departments in the per print copier charges, and also provides 30 percent recycled paper.
