Larger Inkjet Paper

For your final project you have the option of printing your photographs larger than 8.5x11 and I strongly encourage you to do so. It is not only great to learn how to use larger paper with the printers, but it will also allow you to see your photos in a different way. If you would like to do so, here are some things you need to know:

- Put your order in ASAP if you're ordering paper online
- The printers in the digital lab can handle paper up to 17" wide (the short side). This means you can buy paper that measures: 17x22", 13x19", or 11x17" (these are the standards)
- Keep in mind the number of prints required for the final plus test prints, test strips and mess ups.
- As the paper gets larger, the price of purchasing a box increases. But, no fear, there are options that won't break the bank. And it is totally worth it.
- Remember that printing on matte paper is a big adjustment from luster paper. And you cannot frequently be switching back and forth between Matte Black and Photo Black.
