Just wondering, is there such a thing as A3+ plain copier paper? If so, where can I buy it?

Thanks - Paul
 
A3 is certainly available but A3+ seems a pointless size. Photocopiers are office equipment - why would an office want a slightly large copy than standard?
 
I've asked a couple of friends who work in printing and they don't know of any A3+ "normal" papers. Sorry.
 
You need to look for SRA3 paper, very commonly used in print, as most printer do not print to the edge, A3 is printed with cropmarks and bleed and then guillotined down to A3.
 
I used to buy a3 copier paper by the Tonne for use on docutec printers. Any paper merchant will have it, and can supply it long or short grain. However it is mostly sold to big users. Or stationers who have regular customers for it.
Most friendly local printers could cut down some sra2 80 to 90gsm bond that would be suitable.

Not using it in a photocopier

Now I know what to ask for, I've found a supplier, a local printer. You can also buy it on Amazon. Xerox, Mondi and, would you believe, Canon supply it.

So, sorted. Thanks Guys(y)
 
SRA3 is 450x320 but A3+ is 483x329. A3, at 429x297, is a lot easier to find and would be my choice. SRA2 at 640x450 being cut down to A3+ would leave a lot of waste but would give you exactly A3+.
 
SRA2 is the most common printers sheet size, as it allows both bleed and trim on a folded A4 sheet. As it is most foten bought flat on a palette rather than ream wrapped it is the most economomical way fo a printer yo buy.
You can of course buy paper sheeted to any size you like, or even by it by the reel. You can even have it made with your own watermark, usually in a minimum of 3 Tonne lots.

Thanks for that info, very useful.

My Missus thinks I take enough space as it is. Imagine having that in the garage!
