Graph paper is pretty dang expensive buying it in small
quantities!

Anyone know where a person could buys say 1000 sheets
of it to save money?

I use these people for all my paper needs. Maybe they can help you
too.

What does inkjet printing cost per page? Or even laserjet printing? I
suspect he'd be better off buying it retail.

Or do you want the fancy log-log on vellum stuff?

The one month I used an inkjet printer, I wasn't that happy with it. It
was too expensive, it was a garage sale printer but the refill kit lasted
about a month. And then when I saw what happened when the pages got wet,
I was really glad to spend $25 on a laser printer at a rummage sale a few
months later.

For a while, I was using the laser printer for lots of posters. I never
figured the price, but I figured it was "cheap enough".

The real question may be, is the original poster needing a lot of such
paper, or are they wanting to buy in bulk because the small packs at the
local stationary are so expensive? Sometimes buying in bulk isn't that
much more expensive than the easier to get smaller packages.

If that's the case, then a laser printer has the advantage that you print
when you need paper, and surely the per page is cheaper than the small
expensive packs of the printed paper. If you don't really need the large
quantity, or at least over a long enough period, the laser printer may
have advantages.

How much is a "small quantity"? IMO it's way less than 1000 sheets. IOW
how much graph paper does the OP actually intend to use? If the OP needs
only a few sheets of graph paper the most frugal solution is to print
them at home. Note: ISTM someone else might find the info I posted
useful even if the OP did not.

Version 4.21 is an older version that doesn't include the capability
of making your own design.
I have been using v 5.4.0.1 with a custom created engineering paper
with my company name.
When I tried to transfer it to my new computer I found it was no
longer available.

Does anyone know what happened to Dr. Philippe Marquis and his web
site?

Hello Jim,

Philippe Marquis web sites:
http://perso.easynet.fr/~philimar/ *DEAD
http://www.marquis-soft.com/ *DEAD
http://www.multiqc.com/ *live but does not show "Graph Paper Printer"

Wayback Machine archives for the dead sites:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://perso.easynet.fr/~philimar
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.marquis-soft.com/

Apparently the last shareware version was version 5.4.0.2. Dunno if you
can buy it anywhere. Do you still have your registration info? It looks
as if you can obtain another copy of that version of the program by
downloading one of the later archived copies:
