I got an i9900 last week, which I <b>LOVE</b>.

I went out and purchased a box of 4x6 Printasia(Ilford) paper, and a box of 5x7 Kodak paper.

I wanted to buy some Ilford Classic Pearl, since it is so highly recommended, but I can only seem to find 8.5"x11", 13"x19", and 11"x17" sizes.

Does that paper come in 4x6, 5x7, & 8x10, or do I have to cut and waste paper if I want to use the Classic Pearl?

What does everyone else do?

Ok, stop laughing now. :oops:

You have found the sizes that are the most comom in North America. There is no 4 x 6 in the better Ilford papers. However, if you are using PhotoShop, you can print 2 4 x 6's on one sheet of 8.5 x 11 using the Picture Package option.
File > Automate > Picture Package and choose the size you want.

For 4X6, I've been satified with Kodak's high quality paper. Try it, you might be surprised.

I have the 5x7 Kodak Ultima, which is "ok". Is that the type you use?

Got it.

I would like to stay away from manually cutting prints.

Guess I'll stick with the paper I have.

Thanks.
