Inches or "A" sizes for prints?

Hi all, 

I have a quick question for you!

Regarding prints, do you tend to prefer the measurements to be in inches (5x7, 8x11...etc...), or in "A" sizes (A4, A3...etc...)?

They are more common in the Eu, for sure

That would make processing too complicated and very very time-consuming, especially when I have a lot of orders, unfortunately T_T

Maybe list both measurement variations side by side?

I never heard of "A" Sizes before... I'm in the U.S.

There are definitely not standard in Canada, but they are the standard here in Europe. Although you are right that inches are more standard for art sizes and framing, even here. I think I will keep to inches for now. Thanks for your input Taylor ^^

Perhaps I just don't see A sizes very much, but I am nearly clueless with them! Here in Canada - at least in my case - I see inches used more with print measurements and framing. I understand why people might like A sizes, but keeping it in inches might keep things simple; that is, many people won't be scrambling to figure out what the new sizes are.

Good to know! I might keep them in inches then, as, although people seem to prefer A sized because they understand what size that is better, I'd rather make is easier for people to frame their work without having to get a custom frame done. Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah in the UK too or that's what I've found anyway

Even in the UK?

Inches becoz frames tend to come in inches not A4 A3 sizes and I would be framing my pieces

Yeah, inches is clearer for me!

So do I, hahaha! Thanks for the info my little alec XD

I think they are called DIN standards :D (I know I'm a smart aleck). Definitely those! I always have to convert inches via Google...
