Default Best Print Sizes???

I want to have 8x10s... but I don't want to crop the photo or have any borders on the print, and if I have to have borders I would only print one that has all sides even borders.

What would you guys recommend?

I was thinking printing 9x12s but then it won't fit in a 8x11 sleeve to protect the print...

If you are using a full frame camera then any size ratio that is .6667 will give you the entire frame without cropping... 4x6, 8x12, etc. For an 8x print the long side is 12...for the long side to be 10 then the short side would be 6.667"

Same thing from crop body, just figure out the sensor ratio and that will determine the uncropped paper sizes.

Given the commonality of sizes like 5x7 and 8x10 most images get cropped.
