Can anyone recommend inkjet papers for 8x12's? I guess the closest standard size would be Legal, but the only choices I know of in that size are Canon Bubble Jet, Canon Coated, and Epson Photo Quality Inkjet Matte. Are there other choices? It would be nice to be able to print a single 35mm full frame 8 inch print without having to crop or cut paper. Rad

I buy 50 packs of 13" x 19" sheets and cut the paper down... resulting in two pieces that are 13" x 9.5"... I center my 8 x 12 prints on that paper and trim off the margins if needed. If your printer only handles letter size paper (maximum width of 8 1/2", then trim your sheets down to 13" x 8.5").. It's only a couple cuts and doesn't take that long to cut a whole pack down to size. If I buy Epson Heavyweight Matte from Office Depot, the paper ends up costing less than fifty cents per 8x12 print. http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=508031 -m Paul Roark wrote: > European size A4 is close at 8 1/4 by 11 5/8." > > Paul > www.PaulRoark.com > ____________________________ > > -----Original Message----- > From: Conrad Weiser [mailto:radimus@...] > Sent: Monday, December 01, 2003 10:20 AM > To: Digital B&W Print list > Subject: [Digital BW] Paper for 8x12 > > Can anyone recommend inkjet papers for 8x12's?

If there were no Legal sized options, cutting down 13x19 was my next idea. I was just hoping for a single sheet solution, but if that's the best way to go about it I can handle that. I'll need a bigger paper cutter. A4 size is close, but no banana. Right now I have no printer capable of anything beyond Letter or Legal, but I'm planning on getting a 1280 to load with UT next month. Rad Mike Sommers wrote:

RAD, I have been talking about doing just this with 13X19 paper on the Photo.net forum for Digital printing I was trying to find out if the Canon i960 or i950 printers would handle legal size paper 8.5X14 so to be able to print a full frame 8X12 just like you are. The idea I had for cutting the paper involved making more then just the 8X12 size as I do a lot of printing to a 6X9 image size (they work real nice matted into my letter sized portfolio book) I have figure out a whole bunch of ways to cut down this paper. BUT I have been planning on having a print shop do it all in one pas on their Guliotine type cutter. I polt it out for them on the top sheet or give them the diamensions and cut order and in a couple of minutes the make me 50 (or more) Identical sheets that will register perfectly in any printer. That can be set for that paper size. Thsi would only cost a few bucks and most shops would do it while you wait or help out. The other way to accuratly cut paper this size would be a box knife and a staright edge (beats a paper cutter all to heck for staying straight. Mark W.

Thanks for the idea, Mark. I didn't think of asking a print shop for that kind of service. Rad awahlster wrote:
