Some of the online printing places have started pushing 9x6 inch prints, which is a nice large but manageable size, and albums to match are available.

However, I've not been able to find 9x6 inch inkjet paper on which to print.

Does anyone know of any (UK, preferably) sources for such paper?

Thanks,

regards,

I often print this size, but just use A4 and centre the image. This does waste paper but I haven't seen any 9x6 paper personally.
I usually use A4 frames with a 9x6 matte and the ratio of matte to print look ok to me.

Maybe they're cutting down 8x12s?

I just bought a pack of 5x7 paper and it was a tad more than 8x10 paper anyway. I imagine specialty paper like 6x9 would be more expensive than standard larger sheets which you can crop down.

If you have a larger printer, you could 2 6x9 on one 13x9 sheet (borderless)

I'd imagine they are just printing on 81/2x11 paper and then trimming it. If you have a good quality paper cutter, you could probably trim a batch of photos assuming your printer did a good job of positioning the shots uniformly.

All the online labs will be using rolls of paper and they just cut them to length.
