    Does anyone know where I can get photo paper 8 x 6 (inches)?

    I need to print out wedding photos for an album. Is this a difficult size to get.

    I know producers definately have this photo paper , Canon, Epson, HP. I cannot find a shop stocking this photopaper. Anyone know of a shop in Ireland that should stock this?

    Have tried PCWorld and Currys.

    That's not a common size I think ... no sign of it on either the HP, Kodak or Epson websites that I can see. 10cm x 15cm (4" x 6") and 13cm x 18cm (5" x 7") plus A4 are the most common ink jet photo paper sizes available.

    You could get very close to it if you printed two photo's per A4 sheet if your printer is able to print right up to the edges of the paper. A4 is 29.7cm x 21cm, so half of that (A5) would be 21cm x 14.8cm.

    I mentioned this in my first post but now I am not sure. Apologise for incorrect info.

    I heard it from another source. I think I want to confirm does the photo album actually need 8x6 or is it 7x5.

    If it 8x6 I think I will print 2 per page, borderless printing, and that should work.

    Thanks for the help.

    any good photo lab can print 8x6 or 9x6, what price do you think buying your own 8x6 paper would cost?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,086 ✭✭✭Peter B


    I have no idea how much it should cost. I suppose near enough to the cost of 7x5 paper.

    I didn't know photo labs print 8x6. Where do they get the paper from?

    The get it by the roll, an 8x6 is 99c in most places off the street. much better than inkjet.

    To the OP: Be clear as to what you're actually looking for! Bear in mind that photo paper as used by photo labs is not the same stuff as inkjet paper for printing your own prints at home on your inkjet photo printer which is the gist of what I got from your first post.

    Personally, I'd have thought that if these are wedding photo's that someone wants to keep for a long time, getting them printed at a lab on proper photo paper would be the best solution anyway.
