Re: Papers available in 11X14?

2006-10-01 by djon43

Ginny, I didn't mean to be provocative, sorry. 

If your marketing's grooved into 11X14 for some reason (economical
frames/mattes?), and if 11X17's not satisfactory (waste 3" of paper),
maybe roll paper's your answer? 

I shoot 6X7 as well...gorgeous format.
