Re: [Digital BW] Paper for 8x12

2003-12-01 by Conrad Weiser

If there were no Legal sized options, cutting down 13x19 was my next 
idea.  I was just hoping for a single sheet solution, but if that's the 
best way to go about it I can handle that.  I'll need a bigger paper 
cutter.  A4 size is close, but no banana.

Right now I have no printer capable of anything beyond Letter or Legal, 
but I'm planning on getting a 1280 to load with UT next month.
