Default What size do you print?

I've used 8x8 for the past few years for my pages, but I'm seeing more and more 10x10. Just curious if many of you are using 10x10 sizes.

I still use 12x12 for my PL books, but order 8x8 sized copies for my kids. Vacation albums are 8x8, mostly because the print shops here don't offer 10x10.

I print 12x12 photo books. I put too much on my pages to print them much smaller. Plus, no one can read the journaling at a smaller size. I know it costs more, but it's worth it to me for ease of viewing.

I do 10x10 books. I've done 8x8 too, but I think 10x10 is the perfect size.

I stick with 12x12 because there aren't many (any?) 10x10 albums available to put printed pages into. I can't say for sure now, but there weren't any when I last checked, a few years ago. When I do vacation photobooks, I change up my sizes depending on cost and page style. (My pocket pages tend to have lots of photos and journaling, so I stick to 10x10 or 12x12 for photobooks with a lot of pocket pages.)

I print almost everything 8x8... my vacation albums come from a different company and those are 10x10. I don't like anything larger - don't have bookshelf space for 12x12.

I print 8x8 and I've been very happy with that size. I feel it's a good compromise for space and cost but I will say that I printed my Disney vacation photobook as 12x12 because I'm gifting it to my mother in law. I figured bigger would be easier to hold, see details, read journaling, etc especially as my in laws get older. It was really nice to see everything in such large detail!

I'm with Cassie, I typically print 8x8 because it's a good balance between cost and space. I'm usually printing multiple (5) copies for family members.

My MIL recently requested I use bigger pictures in my layouts so she can see them better ... so perhaps I will just print her larger books

12x12. I pack a lot onto pocket scrapping-type pages, so I like to print big.

I print 12x12 and never really printed a different size outside of gifts, which would have been 6x6

I prefer 21x21 cm. It's +/- 8x8 inches. It's the perfect size for my books.

I have printed in all three sizes plus 8.5 x 11, but I prefer 10x10. You can see the photos and read the journaling, and it is easier to handle and look through.
