I almost forgot your remark on 13x19 printers.My new EPSON takes 17x22
media,resulting in the 16x20 trimmed print!The 13x19 printer is designed to
top out at a 12" wide print.You can make 4 4x6 prints on a sheet of 8x12
paper.You get 3 on a sheet of 8.5x11,the rest is waste.Before you say no one
uses 8x12,I do!Now I will be sure to let ALL the printer manufacturers know
they should contact you for the "NEW"standard photo sizes!
