Digital BW, The Print

Hello,

There is more than a handful to be had by seaching paper size on B&H.
I don't use premium, but I use the inkpress heavy matte( I wouldn't know a
good paper).

  Dear Clayton,

  For me, the difference between 11X14 and 13X19 is very significant.
  I do not consider it 'small'.

  Ginny

  PS-My suspicion is that profit has something to do with the
  manufacturers choice of paper sizes---'profit' meaning, not what will
  sell the most but that it might have to do with the raw media they are
  cutting.
  Just a gut reaction.
