Right, but to have properly bound parts of 9x12, you need 18x12 to print on. Is that also a standard art size? If so, I am curious where you get it.
I use 20x13, which I have custom cut. It's a bit more expensive, but not out of this world. Anyway, as you say, these days the move is towards PDF delivery and the orch librarian sorts it out. My last two jobs for orchestra were that way.
