8R

With dimensions of 8 inches wide by 10 inches tall, the 8R print size has a surface area of 80 square inches and a classic 8:10 aspect ratio. It is also referred to as the 6P size. In the metric system, 8R corresponds to 203mm x 254mm. The 8R is noticeably larger than smaller sizes like 4R, 5R, and 2R. It sits between the moderate 5R and 11R sizes and the premium larger prints. The origins of 8R trace back to its popularity as a professional film format in the early 20th century. It was one of the most common large format films which contributed to its rise as a standard print size. Today, 8R remains a very popular choice for its ability to produce sharp detailed prints thanks to its size. It lends itself well to portraits and landscapes. The 8R is also more affordable than oversized prints. Its versatility as a medium-large size makes it ideal for quality prints without the premium cost of extra large sizes. It can be easily cropped from digital camera images. The 8R is commonly used for framing photos, professional portraits, and any application where a moderately-enlarged print is desired.
