A0 vs ANSI E
A0 is 22.6 mm narrower and 71.4 mm taller than ANSI E. They are close but not interchangeable: a layout built for one clips or leaves a border on the other.

What Is Lost Printing One on the Other
At 100% scale, both centred, nothing resized. A positive figure on the wider or taller side is cropped; on the other it is a blank margin.
| Axis | Gap | A0 onto ANSI E | ANSI E onto A0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 11.3 mm (0.44 in) each side | blank band | ANSI E loses it |
| Height | 35.7 mm (1.41 in) each end | A0 loses it | blank band |
Scale-to-Fit Percentages
The figure to type into a printer or PDF dialog to scale one to fit inside the other:
| ANSI E to fit A0 | 97% | leaves a thin border on one pair of edges |
|---|---|---|
| A0 to fit ANSI E | 94% | leaves a thin border on one pair of edges |
Frequently Asked Questions
Is A0 bigger than ANSI E?

What is the difference between A0 and ANSI E?
A0 is 22.6 mm narrower and 71.4 mm taller than ANSI E. They are close but not interchangeable: a layout built for one clips or leaves a border on the other.
Can you print ANSI E on A0?
Not at full size without a change. Shrink ANSI E to 97% to fit A0, which leaves a thin border, or print at 100% and lose 11.3 mm off each side and 35.7 mm top and bottom.
