Photo size

Unread post by EddievB »

Hi guys! I just started collecting and I was wondering what size you guys usually use for your pictures? I have them printed out so I can decide the size myself. I was thinking either A5 or A6. A5 is a nice size but it's more expensive to send and the quality can be a little less. A6 is cheaper and higher quality but maybe a little small? What's your thought on this?

Thanks, Eddie

As I'm in the US and most of who I write to is in the US, I usually do A4. For outside the US, A5. You just have to find sufficient resolution to get them made as A5. If they'll print as A4, they'll definitely print as A5.

I often print 6x4 or 7x5 inch as they fit in a standard envelope (costs less to post).

In person I do A4 because they look better
