8x12 paper?

[gregf]

<p>Does anyone know of a source for 8x12 paper? I really hate to crop photo's to fit 8x10, and 13x19 is kind of expensive but comes very close to the 2:3 aspect ratio of the sensor.</p>

<p>I really don't understand why it's so hard (thus far impossible) to find a standard size. I got my 35mm enlargements done at 8x12, my sensor has that aspect ratio, one would think it would be easy to get paper in that size.</p>

<p>You can always use 11x14, and simply leave a margin if the intention is to mount the image behind a mat, or trim a bit if you want it to be a bleed print. I rarely - except for proof/snapshot type prints like 4x6 and 5x7 - print on the final size of the image. I always like to have some maneuvering room. Really depends on what you ultimately are going to do with that piece of paper, presentation/mounting/display-wise.</p>

<p>never seen it stock although redriver will custom cut for you. Consider getting a decent rotary trimmer and cutting your own. redriver does have a 12x12 so you could get 1 8x12 and 2 4x6 from one sheet w/ no waste or even 17x25 and waste an inch on each edge.</p>

<p>standard size as always be 8x10, 11x14, 16x20 etc... standard photo paper size that is.</p>

<p>People normally use a bigger paper to print there full frame image ie 11.65 x 16.5 is the closest paper at Epson... where you can print youre 11x14 or your whatever smaller size without cropping anything.</p>

[howard_m]

<p>there is a overall massive disconnect between paper & frame sizes vs. sensor sizes. That said, I can't remember the last time I didn't crop an image, esp. if the viewfinder isn't 100%</p>

<p>There are a lot of sizes of paper that aren't made that would accommodate the 35mm format much better. If you really want 8x12 in a high grade paper, many MFG's make 24x36 sheets which could be cut down into 12 8x12 sheets each or some make rolls 16 inches wide that could be cut.</p>

<p>One solution is to use 13x19 paper and a good rotary trimmer and cut it to 9.5x13. Then you could print 8x12. (this is what I do)</p>

<p>Here in Europe we have about every paper from every brand in A4 size (210 x 297 mm) which is about as close as you can get to the sensor's ratio and 8x12 inches.</p>

<p>You can always use your full frame 8 x 12 images ON 8 x10 paper by making a matte.</p>
