Comparison Epson L7180 vs Epson L7160

The largest paper size that the MFP can work with. Most often, the formats are marked from A0 to A10; it is from here that the famous “A4” is taken, denoting a standard landscape sheet. The main formats used in modern MFPs:

A3 — 297x420 mm (2 times larger than the landscape sheet). They are commonly used in offices for printing large forms, brochures, announcements, posters, copying large-format printed materials, etc.

A4 — 210x297 mm, standard landscape sheet. The most common paper size for home and office use — usually this size is sufficient for non-specialized printing.

A separate category are the large-size models for A0 format. The standard size of such a sheet is 1189x841, however, MFPs of this format, usually, are industrial-grade devices that work with media on rolls.
