Re: Popular paper/image sizes

The opening on the standard mattes is 1/2 inch smaller than the traditional 
photo sizes. So an  8 x 10 print on and 8.5 x 11 inch paper should be cropped 
to slightlly larger than the opening of 7.5 x 9.5 inches on the 11 x 14 inch 
board.. I useally size my prints to 7.6 x 9.6 inches. The 8.5 x 11 inch 
sheets of paper are cheaper per sheet than the new "borderless" 8 x 10 paer 
sizes.
