Currently I am using standard 8.5x11" security paper from www.rxpaper.com in laser printers. I practice in Florida. The cost of the paper has gone up 20% in past year (just like our payments, yeah right, ha ha).

Currently the paper is 8 cents a page. With toner and energy we are probably looking at 12 cents/page. This is getting too expensive. I'm an internist with some patients on 15 different meds.

I am experimenting with some e-prescribing through www.nationalerx.com, but of course that requires double entry and doesn't allow controlled prescriptions.

I am considering shelling out $600 for the Star TSP847U-24GRYRX – USB, dark gray with locking lid thermal printer as paper for that only 2.4 cents per page.

Any thoughts from fellow amazing charts users that have gone through similar issues? Thanks.
