I have been cutting some larger sheets, but sometimes I need only 1-2 prints, and I don't want to wait for long time, until I need to print something else.. Or sometimes I want to experiment - so I don't want to waste much paper.. Or are you cutting the paper before printing? That might be an interesting idea... Especially if I were to use 13x19 - this looks like a better choice compared to the letter size (8x11.5) > Atlex doesn't send SPAM. At least not to me.

One person's useful information is noise for another. What I didn't ask for is SPAM for me. .. or UCE (Unsolicited Commercial E-mail). Especially after I expressed that I don't want to receive it and was promised that my address is removed from the mailing list. If I were to receive "useful information" from each store from which I purchase something for my many hobbies and interests and for my work (where I make many purchases), - all I would have to do is to read my e-mails.

I bought some paper at Circuit City in January, when they had liquidation sales, and then some paper at OfficeMax, - they had something at half price. The choice of stores in College Station is small and those available are not impressive.
