Favourite paper size

[lauffray]

What's your favourite paper size for prints, whether your own or prints you've bought?

I have voted 91/2 by 12, but I tend to print full frame so often the actual size of the print is smaller than the size of the paper

 

[faberryman]

6"x9", 9"x13.5", and 12"x18".

6"x9", 9"x13.5", and 12"x18".

Are these print sizes or paper sizes?

I do too, I realize the wording of the question is probably a little confusing, I'll change it

my favorite print sizes to make are a #10 envelope and a 6x9 envelope.
when you coat your own the restrictions the manufacturers put on you vanish !

I enjoy and print all sorts of sizes 4"x5", 4"x6", 5"x7", 8"x10", 9.5"x12" (recently), 11"x14", 12"x16" and (rarely) 16"x20".
The image area on the print varies with the image and original film format.
My largest frequent print size is 11"x14", so much of my temporary darkroom setup is oriented toward that size.

I think 16 x20 , next would be 20 x24 which is not listed

I prefer square prints on 8x10 for most things though I occasionally will print on (old) 5x7 paper and 11x14.

I didn't know they were made that big!

They certainly do, or did.

The next size up is 24"x30" from then on you were into roll paper; this is (was) colour negative print paper.

My favourite sizes that I print are 5"x8" which is half of an 8"x10" piece of paper, but one that the 35mm frame works very well with, followed by A4 paper (Ilford) which is 297mmx210mm, this enlarges almost perfectly with 35mm framing as well.

For 4"x5" I prefer 8"x10" and 12"x16" paper.
