it wasn't a problem a couple years ago. I checked online this weekend and the now list the page size as 22"x34".

Bummer about the 24x36 barely fitting. Does the 18x24 have the same issue?

prevone just posted in another thread that the 24x36 refill sleeves are 1/4 wider and maybe 1/8 taller. if so, i may buy some refills.

I guess they listened to feedback about the inserts being a lil too tight to fit in the 24x36 prints. Prints slide in no prob at all now :)
