RE: [Digital BW] Paper Size

Jim,

As I'm sure you know, the "scrap bookers" use 12 x 12.  I'd think a
double-sided version similar to the Epson Scrapbook paper (close to the
PremierArt 205) might be able to be marketed to that rather large crowd.

Some of these papers use a type of binding that allows an unbroken 12 x 24
inch double-page panorama in a table-top book.  I think that type of
arrangement could have significant appeal to photographers.

A 12 x 12 book layout also allows vertical and horizontal photos to be
equally presentable.

In short, I think the 12 x 12 has significant potential if it is targeted at
the book, photo-album, & scrapbook markets.

In that market, I suspect the durability and abrasion resistance of Epson
Scrapbook-PremierArt Hot Press will be more important than the higher dmax
of the Innova papers.  I'm not sure if Innova has a paper that is
specifically formulated for that type of use.
