Re: Digital B&W Printing--Which method?

2004-09-16 by Ed Price

I just ordered the set for my C84 (which came "free" after rebates with 
my Mac purchase)  I'm looking to print some panoramics, and I was 
wondering where, and what paper you're using that you find in 8.5 x 14 
sizes?  I have used Red River for years, but this isn't one of their 
standard sizes...
