    paper questions

    We run 99% uncoated paper here. My supplier is saying most shops in the area is using the Xerox brand paper. The difference between that and what I am using is the brightness, and about 15 dollars a case. I don't think my customers are coming to me because I am using 98 bright paper.

    Illinois Sales Tax

    Hello, Information I find on the Illinois Department of Revenue is unclear. I know you don't pay sales tax if the product will be resold, or is being sold to a non-profit or government, but a lot of sales don't fall into those catergories. Is printing exempt from sales tax in Illinois? Thanks!
