Want 8x12 Epson or HP Photo Paper?

Ask for it.
If you have a 35mm film camera or a Digital camera your image proportions
are 2:3
Epson & HP Papers are available as 2:3 only for their 4x6 Photo Paper
Neither offer 8 x12 to match your format because you are not asking them for
it.

You really must be disturbed that I am trying to correct a large omission
of Photo Paper manufacturers not supplying users with paper that
fit their camera image proportions. Of all people I thought you who
are interested in Digital Photography would come to the aid of many
users who might enjoy their Digital Photography more if 8 x 12 Photo Paper
was made available.

Ed said he killfiled you so you do realise you're just
talking to his bitbucket?

I don't generally use killfiles but it becomes more tempting
with your every post and it's nothing to do with being
"disturbed" I can assure you.

Clue: don't create multiple cross-posted threads on the same
topic.

Damn it Ed, when you say you've killfiled someone you could
have the decency to actually do it :-(

FGS Frank, go out and get a life. Personally I'll continue to use 10x8
as it conveniently fits the frames I can buy.

You've never been able to buy paper to fit the format in all sizes. Get
over it.

Here's the answer
Your printer supports it, so what's the problem? Oh, you want some one
else
to cut it for you?........

For these resaons:
1. I'd have to load the 8.3" x 32' Roll onto my printer. Lot more work than
stacking sheets.
2. I'd have to unload the Roll to switch to a different type or size paper.
3. The equivilent Roll paper cost twice as much as similar size cut sheets.
4. I'd have to cut each image twice, once to trim the.3" another to 12"
5. Roll paper that size is not available in the types I often use.

That's the problem!

Your reply respresents the ugliest of trash that permeates the newsgroups.
You have nothing to offer. You contribute nothing. You are nothing!
Your terse "No" is no humor. It is malice.

The Industry?
HP made a special 4x6 perforated sheet paper.
Epson came up with a 12 x12 paper for the new scrapbook needs
Both Epson & HP are producing new sizes and types often just not 8x 12

As I said in another of your posts, inkjet printers use paper sizes
from traditional printing. 4x6 made it through, so there maybe some
hopes of lobbying, but a long shot as there never was an 8x12 size for
even photo printing, most labs used roll or 11x14 paper, you generally
paid for 11x14 when you asked for 8x12. An easy alternative is to buy
13x19 paper and halve the sheets, if you only have an 8.5 inch wid
printer you have 2 cuts to make. A good paper cutter helps alot.

Yes I do. I buy an 11 x 14 sheet and cut it to 8 x 12.
No question but in a competative marketplace the need bor 8 x 12 goes
unsold.
How revolutionary!
