Just doing some market research. I was trying to break this poll down into how often you buy for each size but I think that would be too complicated and I cant figure out how I could make that work with a poll. Thanks guys!
-
I have to say, that I also conscientiously save and use both film and transfer paper scraps as well, so may I start with a 13x19, I often have a piece around 5 x 13 left over which also gets used at some point sooner than later. Even when only 8.5"...
"If it's long enough to feed, it's long enough to need"
and btw, though I use a lot of 8.5" x 11", I cut them from my 11" x 17".

Epson 4900 here, upgraded from the 4000...with an all black system in there for 17" roll feed. running threw 4-5 100' rolls a month...like the cutter on it keeps waste down, plus gang several prints and run them all at the same time....

14" roll and 17" roll
-
I used to use 13 and 17 rolls. With CTS I no longer need film. ;)
-
I use 24" rolls and 44" rolls. However Ive found that the 24" rolls are perfect for almost everything. For big jobs you can rotate the art to make it 22"-23" tall, and for the smaller jobs under 12" wide the art tiles up and prints twice as fast so that saves you time and money.
-
I run 13 x 19" and 17 x 22" but we cut and use any and all scraps down to 4" x 6" as they are perfect for padprinting films.

Cool guys keep em coming, so far my guess as to how this would go was almost right.
I haven't voted yet but it's looking like I'd be the only one running 8.5x14...

17 inch roll here.
-
36" roll

I would rarely need legal size (8.5x14), but I used to need to fool my printer into thinking that's what I was running to get the full use of a letter sized film. The HP 9800 ran a huge margin at one end.

Epson 1400
13x19 and 8.5x14
I used to also use 8.5x11, but used it very infrequently so I no longer buy it.
I would like to eventually upgrade to a printer that can use 13" rolls.

We use 8.5x11, 11x17 and 13x19 with our Epson 1400, and 17" roll with our Epson 4000.
-
We use 8.5x14 cause we do alot of narrow center chest center back prints that are 12" wide, although I have been ganging them on 13x19s as of late. I can't believe I never ganged images on film until recently, don't know what I was thinking.

That's what the 13"x19" and it's scraps are for in my shop. Perfect for my usual max width.

Same reason I use them for.
I have been trying to do my artwork/film output on one day each week. It's been giving me more opportunities to gang the film.

Same here. Mondays is art, films, exposing, getting set for the week. Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and half of Friday is printing, other half of Friday is reclaiming and coating. That's how it usually works out here.

Thanks guys, this gives me some good food for thought in planning.
