Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for your comments.
  As a clarification, I didn't mean to assert that 11X17 is not
satisfactory. I use that size a lot. It is readily availalle. I asked
about 11X14 because it seems a size hard to find. I never meant to
imply that the other commonly found sizes are unsatisfactory.

  Best Regards
   Ginny
