Simply talking about the printers in this roundup is complicated by the fact that most are designed to handle multiple paper size equivalents, based on varying standards followed by different countries. In the US, tabloid, or ledger-size, is 11 by 17 inches. The equivalent ISO paper size used in much of the rest of the world is A3 size, or 297 by 420 millimeters (mm), which works out to roughly 11.69 by 16.54 inches. Any printer that can print on either size paper will also print on the other, which is why you'll see the same printer referred to as tabloid-size, ledger-size, or A3 size. A similar issue crops up with supertabloid size versus A3+ and Super B. In that case, however, all three are 13 by 19 inches. In addition to these variations on names, you'll sometimes see tabloid and supertabloid models grouped together, without any obvious distinction between them, on the grounds that either can serve as a tabloid-size printer. When you're shopping, it's always a good idea to check for the actual maximum paper width the printer you're looking at can use—11 inches or 13 inches. It may keep you from overlooking a supertabloid-size printer hidden in a list labeled "tabloid printers," or save you from buying a supertabloid-size model—with its extra size, weight, and cost—when you need only tabloid-size.
