9x12 is in inches.  Standard agency portfolio size.

You should be able to bring a disk into one of those kodak photo stores, they have that icture maker thing , I have done it a couple of times at one in Coquitlam  near my house and they look fantastic and are under 10 bucks a print some times they even have sales and you can get two for $9.50 especailly if you go there lots. I think Black's does 9x12's aswell but I am not shure of the price but I am sure they would do a great job.

My Costco in NJ prints 12x18s for $3 each...  Print 2-up and cut them in half to make 9x12s, as another poster suggested....

Costco locations in the greater Vancouver area.....
Call whichever is closest to you and ask if they can print 12x18s --
format them 2-up, cut them in half, and you should be
good to go....

Sorry dude... Why would anyone want prints made at Costco anyway???  In NYC there is only ONE place for me to get my prints, hell, on the entire East Coast... DUGGAL's!!!  They print my Film and Digital pics.  They are the BEST on the east coast, not cheap by any means, but they are the BEST.  They have Printers that have been printing for 40 years!  Those guys know what they are doing. 

Print Quality in your Portfolio is Essential!!!

This is Danielle's mum.

Thanks for all the info.  In case any one else wants to know, ABC Photocolor in Vancouver (recommended by a photog) does them at a cost of $10.95.  I am going to check out the 11 x 18 option with 2 prints which I bet would be a lot cheaper, and Blacks and the Kodak center.  I do want the printing to be a good quality, so that is first consideration.

I was really getting frustrated as no one listed that size in their prices, so I thought that meant they didn't make them.  God love the forums.

I am  used to paying $25 for prints of 8X10 and $30 for 9X12... and the prints are Definately worth it!

There are pro labs in town that will print to this size.  Try: The Lab, Custom Colour, ABC, G. King., Rocket Repro, and Gamma Pro Lab.

I prefer The Lab and G. King.
