I too searched Kodak's and Ilford's sites. No 9x12 :-(. To the best of my
knowledge the printing paper sizes are 5x7, 8x10, 8 1/2x11, 11x14, 16x20 and
20x24 (all in inches) for either B&W or color materials. These are standard
sizes for home darkrooms at least. I've been looking for an 8x12 sheet size
to no avail. I once asked a local lab, when I lived in a real city <g>,
where they got theirs. I was told from an 8 inch wide roll 400 feet long;
they cut it in 12 inch pieces. So "odd" sizes tend to be wasteful for the
home printer. The larger sizes are just so expensive to buy and process.
Mistakes are way too expensive. Now, I just stick to 8x10 and trim to final
size as needed with a straight edge and a razor with the very occasional
16x20 for something the really excites me.

Thanks. I couldn't find any info on Ilford's website about sizes, so I will
check
with my dealer tomorrow.
