Archive of Thread: Printing on A4 paper Back

3 years ago
Forgive my ignorance ðŸ˜Œ

If I make some graph paper available to download and it's formatted for 8 1/2 x 11, can you print it accurately on A4 paper?

Should I provide A4 sizes to download?

Currently our Tools page offers both sizes, but I'm wondering if this is necessary

A4 paper is slightly longer than the US (old British Quarto) size, being 11.75 inches (so no problem there), but it is also slightly narrower at 8.25 inches.  If your graph paper has a generous margin each side it would not be a problem to print it on A4 paper, telling the printer to centre the image.  However, looking at the samples I have just downloaded, I suspect the image is too wide.  As it is much simpler, anyway, for the user to select the correct size to download, I would suggest you leave both options in play.

THANK YOU!  I'll forge ahead.  I'm in the process of expanding the sizes available.  This has been on the "to-do" list for to long ðŸ˜Š
