What is the size of A4 paper? The ISO 216 standard defines A4 paper as 210mm x 297mm. The standard size for printing and copying is A4 paper. A4 paper is accepted by almost all printers. Knowing that A4 is half of A3 and that each number after the "A" halves the paper size will help you understand "A" paper sizing. The most common paper sizes in millimetres and inches are listed in the table below:
Size | Width x Height (mm) | Width x Height (in) |
A1 | 594 x 841 mm | 23.4 x 33.1 in |
A2 | 420 x 594 mm | 16.5 x 23.4 in |
A3 | 297 x 420 mm | 11.7 x 16.5 in |
A4 | 210 x 297 mm | 8.3 x 11.7 in |
A5 | 148 x 210 mm | 5.8 x 8.3 in |
What is the best printing paper? The best paper for most printing is white A4 80gsm paper. This is usually purchased in reams (packs of 500 sheets) or in a box of 5 reams (2,500 sheets). Most printing needs, such as printing reports, invoices, or homework, can be met with 80gsm white A4 paper. If you have an inkjet printer and want to print photos, you should use specialty photo paper. Photo paper is available in two finishes: matte and glossy. Is it possible to print on thick paper in my printer? Yes, many printers will accept thick paper with a weight of up to 300gsm. Check your printer's manual to see what the thickest paper it can accept is, as some can only handle 220gsm and others can handle up to 400gsm. Also, make sure you change the paper settings on your printer to get the best results. 300gsm is a thin card that is ideal for creating and producing high-volume documents such as restaurant menus. To give you a sense of scale, “normal” printing paper is usually 80gsm.
