I didn't find the article very interesting actually. "Prints are getting 
bigger.
They were smaller." 

I think most of my prints are 11 x 16. (which is what my Epson 2200 prints.)
That's for my use. I don't like to stand real close to photographs so I like
them big enough that I can step back.

Expense is an issue in framing for some people so 8 x 10 is good.

I know some folks like portraits that are 8 x 10 or smaller. I like them a 
bit
larger.

I virtually never print smaller than 8 x 10.
