Digital BW, The Print

If you make a lot of 8x10 prints, 11x17 is more economical (cut in half),
plus you have the option of making larger prints if you want.

13x19 comes at a 30% premium (over 11x17), at least for Canson Montval
Aquuarelle in Canada. That's fine if you're doing 12x18 prints. However, if
you want to print 8x10's you will have some waste, and you paid a premium to
start. 8x12 conversely, works very nicely with 13x19 paper.

As you can tell, I do more smaller prints than larger ones. 8x10 and 11x14
are common off the shelf frame sizes up here, which is what my print
customers are thinking about (8x10 mostly). I cut my own mattes, so it's not
a constraint for me.
