Hello Simon, I get 8X12's printed quite commonly. You have to go a lab that will do it - my local Sams Club will not print them. The lab I normally use will print them.
As for frames/mats, 8X12 is not common but does exist. The family may not have ever looked in a full service lab or frame store. Again, the local Walmart/Sam's Club type place doesn't deal with 8X12 but bigger stores do. We even use butter on sandwiches sometimes! -- Best regards, Bruce Sunday, April 18, 2004, 5:35:49 PM, you wrote: SK> Hi All SK> I recently did a portrait session* with a family who has recent moved SK> here (Perth, Western Australia) from Houston, Texas.
