Where's the 8x12 photo printer paper?

Vizhon

I'm not talking a box of 4x6s, 8.5x11s or 13x19s. I want something that is actually in the 8x12 range. Slightly oversized to say 8.5x13 or 9x14 would be fine, but seriously, where do all the print shops I get my 8x12s printed at get their papers because I can't find any real photo size of paper out there, save 24x36 (my printer's not that big) and 4x6. Every other size I find looking for photo-paper doesn't fit any of the normal photo ratios (8.5x11 for pictures?) The only option I've found so far, in my search is getting 100' rolls of the paper, 2' wide and then getting it cut down to the sizes I want for my prints but there has to be other ways to get something in the 8x12 range.

I know my local photo shop uses 8" wide rolls of paper and just cut to length at 10, 12, or 16.5? (what ever those apx pano size come out to be when made 8" tall). But then they go through a couple three rolls a week and have a bunch of machines that do all the work for them.

If you're seriously contemplating the cut it down route:

24x36 would give you 9 8x12s each:

Or, 8.5x14 is almost 1x1, gives you some extra bits for test prints:

There are of course other paper places out there, but Dee clued me into red river when I asked about greeting cards, and I'm pretty impressed with them at this point.

8.5x14 works, but that link is the first I've ever seen of that size being available. Thanks.
