| A6 | A10 | |
|---|---|---|
| Millimetres | 105 × 148 | 26 × 37 |
| Inches | 4.13 × 5.83 | 1.02 × 1.46 |
| Centimetres | 10.5 × 14.8 | 2.6 × 3.7 |
| Aspect ratio | 1:1.41 | 1:1.42 |
| Area | 155.4 cm² | 9.6 cm² |
Which is bigger
A6 is 16 times the area of A10. They are 4 steps apart in the A series and each step halves the sheet, so the multiple is two to the power of 4. The number in the name going up while the sheet goes down is why this has to be asked rather than read off.
A6 is 79 mm wider than A10. A6 is 111 mm taller.
Printing one on the other
A A10 page fits inside A6 whole — print it at 100% and you get a 39.5 mm border down each side and 55.5 mm top and bottom.
| You want | Set the print scale to | Leaves |
|---|---|---|
| A6 artwork on A10 paper | 24.8% | 0 × 0.4 mm margin |
| A10 artwork on A6 paper | 400% | 1 × 0 mm margin |
These are the numbers for the "custom scale" box in a print dialog. "Fit to page" computes the same thing, but knowing the figure tells you in advance whether the result will look deliberate or accidental.
Why the shapes matter
The proportions differ: A6 is 1:1.41 and A10 is 1:1.42. That difference is why a layout moved between them never quite lines up — scale it to fit one edge and the other is left with 0.4 mm of unwanted margin.
