Oops.. yes, as for 8.5x11, it's my mental block.. for some reason I was looking at it yesterday, and thought that it was 0.5-1" too narrow for the letter size.. I was too tired yesterday. There were however some other sizes that struck me as odd. (see below) Tue Aug 18 15:13:13 CDT 2009 AlunFoto wrote: > Ikea carries a lot of odd sizes over here too.

There were a few sizes like 3"-and-a-fraction x 5"-and-a-fraction, (as opposed to a straight 3"x5"), ~9"x14" (~23cm x 28cm), 9"x9" (~23x23cm) The larger sizes were some standard (~13"x19") and non-standard, (I don't remember all of them) IIRC, very few of the large sizes were in 2:3 format.
