| You want | Set the print scale to | Leaves |
|---|---|---|
| ARCH E1 artwork on JIS B1 paper | 95.5% | 0 × 10.8 mm margin |
| JIS B1 artwork on ARCH E1 paper | 103.6% | 8 × 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: ARCH E1 is 1:1.4 and JIS B1 is 1:1.41. 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 10.8 mm of unwanted margin.
