Help, the printing paper is gone! Time to order new supplies. But what size copy paper do you need? Most home printers use the familiar A4 size. This is the most commonly sold printer paper. If you have a printer that handles larger or smaller paper sizes, you can use the other A-series paper sizes. On this page, we answer the question: What size is printer paper?
A-series printer paper
The A-series are the most widely used paper varieties internationally. In the United States, Canada, and the Philippines, paper sizes based on inches are used. The construction of the A-series is logical: it starts with A0. If you fold this sheet of paper in half along the long side, you get the next size in the series: A1. If you fold it in half again, you get A2. This continues until you have the smallest paper size in the A-series, which is A10. All of these sizes can be used as printer paper.
