bill_tuthill Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I'm running out of A4 Epson Photo Paper, and want to buy more orperhaps Heavy Matte instead. I like A4 size because it is closer tofull-frame 35mm ratio than is 8.5x11" paper. However Buy.com nolonger sells it, nor does anyone else. Is there a mailorder companyin Canada or Mexico that sells it? Otherwise I'll have to orderfrom Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_bergman1 Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Atlex.com sells a bunch of Epson paper in A4 size. <p> <a href="http://www.atlex.com/Epson/paper/a4_size.htm">Epson A4 paper</a> <p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_tuthill Posted March 4, 2003 Author Share Posted March 4, 2003 Thanks, Marc. Guess I could continue using A4 Photo Paper, although I was hoping to try Heavy Matte for more of an inkjet look. Atlex does not sell Heavy Matte A4 paper. Archived photo.net comments indicate that Epson Photo Quality Glossy Paper (S041126) is less archival than Epson Photo Paper (S041140), which is also heavier. So why does Glossy Paper cost more? I tried Photo Quality Glossy Film (S041071) and colors faded within months. That one is even more expensive! P.S. Archaic US paper sizes are better for 11x17", which is closer to 35mm aspect ratio than A3 paper, 11.7 x 16.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NK Guy Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Sadly, Canada doesn't use A4 paper or any of the other DIN sizes. Because of the close proximity of the US, Canada is stuck with the random and non-standard letter and legal business. So going there wouldn't really help you. Perhaps you could order from one of the big online retailers that has a .co.uk presence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_bergman1 Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Bill, They do have the Heavy Weight Matte in A3. You should be able to cut this in half for A4 size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_tuthill Posted March 5, 2003 Author Share Posted March 5, 2003 Holy smokes, Canada suffers with US paper sizes? My condolences. Anyhow, inkjetart.com doesn't have even A4 Photo Paper; Atlex does. But good idea NK, Amazon.co.uk sells A4 Heavyweight Matte paper and my wife has an existing "business relationship" with them.

ted_marcus1 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I make 8x12 prints on my Epson 780 by cutting 13x19 Heavyweight Matte in half. If other papers are available in this size (I think it's called Super B) they should work the same way. It's unfortunate that nobody makes photo-quality paper in the 8.5x14 "legal" size, which would nicely accommodate a 1:1.5 aspect ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
