Who pays for consumable supplies?

The local unit pays for consumable supplies—toner, drums, copy kits, paper, etc.

See the attachment for useful information about consumable supplies including toner and drum part numbers and yields matched with copier model numbers.

As this thread was started in 2008 is someone abler to verify that this is still the policy. That the local unit pays for consumable supplies? Thanks

The Help Center article on Printers and Copiers Overview that was updated in March of 2025 says "Paper, toner, and other consumables are to be purchased with ward or stake budgets. Wards and stakes outside North America should contact their local FMG regarding copier supplies or services."

Which makes sense. The church will provide the equipment, but how much it is used is completely up to the ward. The church would want to encourage wards/stakes to be thoughtful and not wasteful in their usage.
