Why no 13x19 prints available?

It seems to be difficult to find ready made frames AND mats that will fit uncropped 3:2 and 4:3 images (standard for DSLRs). A good example is a 13x19 print. This fits perfectly with a 3:2 aspect image and easy to find 18x24 frames and ready cut mats but this print size is not offered thru Smugmug. It is on BayPhoto's own website, so why is it not available thru Smugmug?

It seems that with the print sizes offered thru Smugmug (which are a lot, don't get me wrong) it seems I'm finding myself having to have mats custom cut quite a bit.

Why is there not a complete workflow of print sizes @ native aspect ratios with ready made frames and mats to match? It always seems one of these 3 items is either not available for the set or has to be custom made.

    13x19 is by no means any standard size. But we'll look into adding it thumb.gif I'm rather surprised that you can't find frames that'll fit 3:2 ratio prints?

    Thanks Andy, the problem comes when wanting both frame and mat. Example is an 18x24 frame which suits the 3:2 good. This is easy, most everyone has them. The hard part now is the mat. Mats for a 13x19 print/opening are easy to find but Smug doesn't offer print. Mats for 14x20 print/opening also look good with this frame but mat hard to find and Smug only offers 14x22 print. So a problem either way.
