Default Print Portfolio

I got a 11x17 print presentation portfolio book with 44 sleeves, I tried putting in 8x12s and they looks ok, but they seem a bit too small for what I want. What print size would you guys recommend to print for the 11x17 book size but a print size that allows full bleed on a non-cropped photo. I know 8x12 works fine with full bleed and no crop, but its a bit too small.

8x12 would be the largest full frame "standard" print size you can get into an 11x17 space.
to maintain your 8x12 ratio these are the other sizes:
9x13.5
10x15
11x16.5

You may find some labs printing 11x16s which would be real close...

So getting a 10x15 would be perfect I think... Thanks Zona!

Checked it on mpixpro's ROE and it works perfectly!

Ive actually found 10x15s to be fairly easy to get done.

That said, my "small" portfolio is 8.5x11 pages with images slightly smaller.
