Reasonably priced source for 13"x19" paper?

I have a fancy new HP printer that'll print on paper up to 13"x19", and I was
surprised at how spendy such sized paper is. I ended up getting a 100 pack of
Epson "Photo-Quality" paper from Office Depot for $38
(http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=381484&&An=text), but I'm
curious if anyone knows of a cheaper source? I don't mind paying $0.38/sheet
for final output plots (I'm mainly doing CAD work), but for quick-and-dirty
check plots, I'd like to find something considerably cheaper even if the
quality suffers.

Thanks,

Thanks, will do.
If your fancy new printer is a DesignJet, bear
in mind that you won't get the HP-claimed
print-longevity ratings except with specific
HP papers.

It's an an OfficeJet Pro.. a K850. Seems surprisingly slow at times (over the
Ethernet interface), but in general I'm happy with the beast. (I ended up
with the K850 because the competition from Canon seemed to be the i9900, which
didn't have an Ethernet interface, something I've come to expect after getting
a DeskJet 6127 with such a feature a couple years back, a model that I still
think is one of the best general purpose printers out there.)

For those 'final prints' I suppose I will pony up for some of the real HP
paper...

I deal with them for all my printer media -- both
paper and ink.
