Hi, Fred,
Another good source, though highly variable, is the ubiquitous ebay....
This link brings up lots of choices:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xcarbon+paper.TRS0&_nkw=carbon+paper&_sacat=0For this work, I prefer black carbon paper...maybe has something to do
with vision; but, black works very well for me.
Also, I prefer to get older "vintage" supplies...many of the old
typewriter companies had their own brands of paper (Remington,
Smith-Corona, Underwood, etc); and, these seem to be of higher
quality...(...at least they seem to last longer...)...that later
production stuff.
A "fold" (100 sheets) will probably last a lifetime. The only problem
is that, if stored where the environment is too hot, the carbon will dry
out and flake off.
Kind regards.
Horace

Sources have become a bit slender over the years with the demise of the typewriter. I was running low, and went into my university bookstore on the off chance they might have some. They did, both "carbon paper" and "transfer paper," in the art supply section. So that is another place to look in case you need some.

I like to use carbon paper to make string marks on the hammers for una corda voicing, when they don't have existing string marks from wear (and when I file and re-align the hammers). Sources have become a bit slender over the years with the demise of the typewriter. I was running low, and went into my university bookstore on the off chance they might have some.
