If your trying to sell your printed images you'll want to be able to
print
these sizes and larger (although the cost of printers to do so is out
of the
reach of most of us wanna bee's).
The largest size I sell is printed on Epson's 13 X 19 Enhanced Matte.
The image is about an inch smaller in each dimension, so about 12 X 18
image area for most. I have these matted with wide white mattes and
framed in dark charcoal gray aluminum sectional frames for the black
and white images. I don't do many in color. Final dimensions are
something like 18 x 25. Most people seem quite pleased with that size.
In fact many prefer prints on A3, which is 11.7 X 16.5 inches. I'm
printing on an Epson 2200, which produces gorgeous prints. It is
possible to get a really good print in either of these sizes from a 6
megapixel camera. Galleries and buyers were initially resistant to
inkjet prints, so we started calling them giclee.
