ANSI E vs ANSI D
ANSI E is 304.8 mm wider and 254 mm taller than ANSI D. They are close but not interchangeable: a layout built for one clips or leaves a border on the other.
Compare a Different Pair
ANSI E and ANSI D, Side by Side
| ANSI E | ANSI D | Difference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Millimetres | 863.6 × 1117.6 | 558.8 × 863.6 | 304.8 × 254 mm |
| Inches | 34 × 44 | 22 × 34 | 12 × 10 in |
| Centimetres | 86.4 × 111.8 | 55.9 × 86.4 | |
| Area | 0.965 m², 965,159 mm² | 0.483 m², 482,580 mm² | 2× |
| Aspect ratio | 1 : 1.294 | 1 : 1.545 | different |
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 | ANSI E onto ANSI D | ANSI D onto ANSI E |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 152.4 mm (6 in) each side | ANSI E loses it | blank band |
| Height | 127 mm (5 in) each end | ANSI E 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 D to fit ANSI E | 129% | leaves a thin border on one pair of edges |
|---|---|---|
| ANSI E to fit ANSI D | 65% | leaves a thin border on one pair of edges |
Frequently Asked Questions
Is ANSI E bigger than ANSI D?
ANSI E is bigger. It is 863.6 × 1117.6 mm against 558.8 × 863.6 mm for ANSI D, about 2 times the area.
What is the difference between ANSI E and ANSI D?
ANSI E is 304.8 mm wider and 254 mm taller than ANSI D. They are close but not interchangeable: a layout built for one clips or leaves a border on the other.
Can you print ANSI D on ANSI E?
Not at full size without a change. Shrink ANSI D to 129% to fit ANSI E, which leaves a thin border, or print at 100% and lose 152.4 mm off each side and 127 mm top and bottom.
