Paper Sizes

[rmladden]

In the UK you use A4 paper. Here in the US we use paper we simply call 8 1/2 x 11 inches. The difference does not seem to effect Actinic reports, at least not in my testing so far, but I am concerned.

I think the difference will effect Mole End's address label report. I can't find the same size labels here. I just bought the closest size but I have not tried it yet.

For more on paper sizes than you ever wanted to know, see http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html

Hi Rob,

Our label reports are designed for A4 laser label paper with various different label size combinations.

However, if you send me some sample paper (I can't buy it here) I will write a variation on the report that is correct for your size paper.

I have been told that you can buy integrated label paper from Avery in the US, do you know if that is true?

We only offer a few label sizes but are usually happy to create variations when needed.

Regards,

Thanks Jan. I was about to e-mail you. I’ll mail you a few sheets. I thought I would be able to get the same labels here. 95% of the world uses the same size, but not the US.

I have not seen integrated labels in the stores, but while searching the Avery web site for labels I did see what they call piggyback labels. They can be ordered in the US. See http://www.avery.com/us/products/sheets/piggyback/index.html to see if that is similar to what is available in the UK.
