Note. It is allowed to produce small-volume magazines of the "Crocodile" type with a format of 270x350 mm without trimming on three sides, printed in a format of 70x108/8 on specialized equipment.
The format of publications is conventionally designated by the size of a sheet of paper for printing in centimeters and fractions of a sheet.
The publication format in millimeters is determined: for an edition with a cover - its dimensions after trimming on three sides, for an edition under a binding cover - the dimensions of a block trimmed on three sides, with the first number indicating the width, and the second - the height of the publication.
Maximum formats are preferred for application.
It is allowed to reduce the format of the publication to the minimum height and (or) width when printing the publication on machines of outdated designs, imported equipment, as well as taking into account the technological features of production.
The use of paper with the machine direction indicated in Table 1 is mandatory when printing on sheet-fed printing machines (in this case, the use of half- and double-format sheets is allowed), newly designed and imported roll-fed printing machines.
3. Maximum deviations of publication formats from those established for a given circulation should not be more than 1 mm in the width and height of the block.

21.02.2018Good afternoon friends! Today I want to talk about the formats of printed sheets that we use when printing.
In digital printing we use the European system of printed sheet formats, which is based on the A0 format 840x1190 mm. I will not reprint the encyclopedia, I will only remind you of three main things:
- each subsequent smaller format is obtained by dividing the base sheet in half, that is, A1 = 1/2A0 or 594x841, A2 = ½ A1 or ¼ A0 or 420x594 mm, etc.
- such strange dimensions were obtained as a result of the search for an optimal aspect ratio close to the golden ratio
- there are formats of group “B” - they are more used in offset and formats of group “C” are used to designate envelopes, for example, an envelope for A4 sheet 210x297 mm - C4 229x324 mm, an envelope for A5 148x210 mm = C5 162x229, an envelope for A6 105x148 mm - C6 114x162 mm. But the “Euroenvelope” is called E65 205x105 mm

At the same time, in book publishing, formats that denote a portion of a sheet are more accepted, for example, 70x100/16, which means a format of 1/16 of a sheet of 700x1000 mm or 170 mm by 240 mm. Book formats and all other types printed publications standardized (GOST 1342-78 and 5773-76).

In book publishing, formats that indicate the proportion of a sheet are more accepted, for example 70x100/16
The choice of print format is very important. On the one hand, it is necessary to choose the most best option for information visualization. And this is the area of responsibility of designers and layout designers. On the other hand, the economics of the publication are important. That is, it is necessary to use the capabilities of printing technology, including digital, as efficiently as possible.
The choice of print format is very important.
For color printing in digital publishing, the site uses a Ricoh C7100X digital printing machine. In this machine we have as many as five feed trays.
Digital printing is necessary for publishing books with a circulation of 1 to 250-300 copies in color or from 1 to 1000 copies in black and white.
I won’t talk about trays 1 and 2, since they are intended for office printing and they are practically not used by us, since they do not have a vacuum supply, but I will tell you about trays 3,4, A, since each of them has its own characteristics.
The main standard for digital printing is SRA3+ 320x450 mm. This format is ¼ of the 640x900 mm format.
Tray number 4 is the main tray of the machine, since the sheet is fed without bending and due to this it is possible to print very dense materials up to 350 g/m2 or 400 microns thick.
The maximum format is 330x487 mm and these additional millimeters can be very important when printing books or plotter cutting.
To obtain this format, we divide a sheet of 700x1000 into 4 parts.
There is also an intermediate format for printing 325x470 - ½ of the 470x650 format (half-format) - the most common paper storage format in our warehouse. Simply because it is convenient to use.
The main standard for digital printing is SRA3+ 320x450 mm. The maximum format is 330x487 mm and these additional millimeters can be very important when printing books or plotter cutting.
Tray number 3 has an elongated shape and its maximum format is 330x700 mm!
It is also vacuum, with the only difference - it prints only in simplex in one pass, that is, for double-sided printing, the sheets will have to be turned over and sent for printing on the second side. Also, paper feeding is no longer direct, so the density of materials is limited to 300 g/m2.
The capabilities of this format are very popular and necessary for printing, for example, the following products:
- landscape brochure A4 – spread format 210x594 mm, printed sheet 300x640 (1/3 sheet 900x640)
- cover for album publications A4 with fastening along the short side of the KBS or with printing bolts, the size of which is 210 * 594 + spine thickness
- booklet “3 A4” with two folds, trim size 297x630, printed in sheet 330x700 (1/3 sheet 700x1000)
- super book cover or cover with flaps and much more.
Maximum format 330x1300 mm. The tray is frictional, so the paper limit is 220 g/m2. This density is sufficient for printing liners.
Maximum format 330x487 mm. The trays cope very well with thin offset papers from 65 g/m2. Thin chalk of 90 g/m2 can also be fed without any problems. Even if it is after offset printing.
For other manufacturers of printing equipment, the situation with formats is similar, so in the digital publishing of books the following formats are most popular:
Close to A4 - edged block format 205x290 mm
Close to A5 – trimmed block format 145x200 mm
Close to A6 - edged block format 100x140 mm
On the one hand, such format names are already more familiar to a wide range of people, on the other hand, they are the most cost-effective, since they occupy the maximum sheet area and are laid out in multiples with a minimum amount of waste.
Why can't you print in formats smaller than SRA3+?
Therefore, paper of a smaller format will leave its mark on the belt after several hundred sheets, and already when printing in the working format, this mark will appear in the print area in the form of a stripe. The prints are discarded, the oven is for repair.
If you need to print a small number of sheets of a smaller format, this is allowed, especially since the Ricoh C7100X has a service function for straightening the oven belt. A special abrasive roller polishes the belt and can remove small artifacts and defects. Of course, if the damage is deep, the roller is powerless.
The formats and sizes of books and all other types of printed publications are standardized
(GOSTs 1342-78 and 5773-76).
The most common formats of modern books (in millimeters):
- Miniature book format
(70– 100)x(100 – 125). Palm-sized dictionaries, guidebooks - Reduced (pocket) book format
(100– 130)x(140 – 177). Paperback fiction, some dictionaries. - Standard book format
(130– 145)x(200 – 215). Most fiction and textbooks are published in this format. - Increased
170х(215 – 260). Some children's publications, special literature. - Encyclopedic book format
(205– 220)x(260 – 270). Most encyclopedic publications are of this size. - Very large book format
(245– 265)x(340 – 410). Art albums, atlases, children's books.
Book formats are usually indicated in abbreviations. For example, the expression 60x90/16 means that the book format is 1/16 of a sheet of paper measuring 60x90 cm.

In the USSR, the most common formats were 60x90/16 and 84x108/32.
Scope of application of the most common formats
Format 60x90/16It is most widely used for educational literature, which contains formulas and tables, as well as illustrations, and the total volume of material is quite large. Sometimes fiction is published in this format - when the volume of the work is large, when it is inappropriate to divide it into several volumes.
Format 84x108/32. Fiction is usually published in this format.
Book format 60х84/16has the same width as in the 60x90/16 format and the same height as in the 84x108/32 format. This format reflects the weaknesses of the mentioned two previous formats: given the width of the book, the line length is long for publications aimed at fluent reading, and the height of such a book page is not designed to accommodate complex formulas and tables. However, for certain publications this format may be suitable, although it is used an order of magnitude less frequently than others from the main group of book formats.
Formats 70x90/32 And 75x90/32- reduced ( pocket type) - often used for books intended for fluent reading: fiction, popular science literature, reference and production publications. The 75x90/32 format has one advantage over the 70x90/32 format - its stripe height is 12 mm higher. Due to this, the area of the printed sheet increases, which improves the economic performance of the publication.
One of the interesting formats70x108/32. This is a wide format and not as portable as the previous two. This format is well suited and used for poetic works, as well as for art publications with extensive illustrations.
Formats 60x90/32 And 60x84/32often used and applied to pocket reference publications. These are various dictionaries, phrase books, transport reference books, guidebooks, and various reminders. Also widely used for paperback fiction. However, one must use such formats with caution, because... such a publication can easily be spoiled by sloppy printing: with poor printing quality, small print may be difficult to read. However, high-quality printing always matters when publishing a book of any format.
Wide enlarged format 70x90/16often used and applied for publications with big amount large illustrations and for publications with large print (mainly children's books).
If you have large formulas, large tables and illustrations, it is recommended to use the extended format70x100/16or extended format 70x108/16.
Among encyclopedic formats, the format is widely used60x84/8. These are voluminous dictionaries, telephone directories, and various types of encyclopedias. The text in such publications can be typed in two or three columns. This format is also convenient for books on art, which include many large illustrations, books on descriptive geometry, and for various publications for preschool children.
Format 84x108/16widely applicable for fiction published in magazine format (an example of such a publication is “Roman-Gazeta”, published in Soviet times). This format is not the best format in terms of readability, but it is the most economical due to the reduction in the volume of stitching work.
If you want your publication to stand out among the crowd of publications, then the best way to do this is to choosenon-standard format: square or, on the contrary, elongated. First of all, the choice of format always depends on the material to be filled.
In those publications where this is preferable (mostly illustrated publications), GOST allows the use of standard formats in the so-called landscape version, in which the width of the publication is greater than its height.
It would be useful to understand what print media formats are and what they are.
Paper size is the size of a paper sheet in width and height or its letter designation according to different standards. Unfortunately, there is no single universal standard. Historically, in different countries Different format standards have been adopted. Attempts to reduce formats to uniformity led to the development of the most used today international standard ISO 216 (GOST 5773-76).
ISO 216 standard
The basic A0 format has an area of 1 m2, with a length to width ratio equal to the square root of two (~1.4142).
A1 format is A0 cut in half. In other words, the height of A1 = the width of A0, the width of A1 = half the height of A0.
All formats smaller than A1 are obtained in the same way. If you cut the format An parallel to its short side into two equal parts, you get the format A(n+1).
Standard values for the heights and widths of paper formats are considered to be rounded to the nearest whole value in millimeters.
ISO dimensions are defined in millimeters and have the following meanings:
| Format A | Format B | Format C | |||
| 4A0 | 1682x2378 | - | - | - | - |
| 2A0 | 1189x1682 | - | - | - | - |
| A0 | 841x1189 | B0 | 1000x1414 | C0 | 917x1297 |
| A1 | 594x841 | IN 1 | 707x1000 | C1 | 648x917 |
| A2 | 420x594 | AT 2 | 500x707 | C2 | 458x648 |
| A3 | 297x420 | AT 3 | 353x500 | C3 | 324x458 |
| A4 | 210x297 | AT 4 | 250x353 | C4 | 229x324 |

| A10 | 26x37 | AT 10 | 31x44 | C10 | 28x40 |
The A series formats define the trim sizes of stationery papers, formats for the production of printed goods.
Series B formats are intended for posters and posters, flyers. It is used where A series formats are not suitable. The width and height of format Bn is the geometric mean between formats An and the following large format A(n-1). For example, format B1 is the geometric mean between A1 and A0, which means that the magnification factor of A1 format to B1 format is equal to the magnification factor of B1 format to A0 format.
Series C formats are designed to produce envelopes that will contain sheets of Series A formats.
Uncut paper sizes
Series A and B formats are so-called trimmed formats, that is, finished edition formats. The ISO standard also includes so-called unedged RA and SRA formats. (The abbreviation SRA stands for “supplementary raw format A”.) These sizes are only slightly larger than the corresponding A Series sizes. Sheets of these sizes are trimmed to the final size after printing and finishing. The ISO RA0 format has an area of 1.05 m2, ISO format SRA0 - 1.15 m2. These formats also follow the square root of two rule and the half area rule, but the dimensions of the basic formats are rounded to the nearest centimeter.
RA and SRA format sizes

Formats of book and magazine publications (according to GOST 5773-90)
Printing formats (books, magazines) are conventionally designated by the size of a sheet of paper for printing in centimeters and fractions of a sheet. They were developed taking into account the fullest use of the printed sheet for domestically produced machines.
Maximum formats are preferred for application.

Book format in modern Russia
Nomenclature
Book formats are indicated in abbreviations, for example, like this - 60x90/16. In this expression, the number “60” denotes the width of the original paper sheet (in centimeters), “90” is the height of the paper sheet, and “16” is the number of pages into which the sheet is divided.
Format groups
In Russia there are five main groups of book formats:
- extra large- (84×108/16; 70×90/8)
- large- (70×90/16; 75×90/16)
- average- (60×90/16; 84×108/32)
- small- (70×90/32; 70×108/32)
- ultra-small- (60×90/32)
What determines the choice of format
One of the main problems when choosing a book format is to choose the optimal combination of book width and height. According to one of the theories adhered to by Leonardo da Vinci, proportions based on the principle of the “golden section” are harmonious. When applied to book format, this principle means that the ratio of the width of the book to its height should be 1:1.618.
According to another theory, close to the theory of the “golden ratio”, the ratio of the width of a book to its height should be equal to the ratio of neighboring numbers from the Fibonacci series, or “golden series”. Each term of this series is equal to the sum of the two previous ones: 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, etc. This means that the width should be related to the height as 3:5, 5:8, 8:13, etc.

Book page format
When choosing a book format, you need to keep in mind what the book page format, or dial strip format, that is, the size of the print on the page. For a book to look harmonious, the format of the book strip must be geometrically similar to the format of the book. There are three main dial strip formats:
- economical(largest) - with very narrow margins - intended for books designed for a short period of use, as well as for publications in which it is necessary to present the material as concisely as possible, for example, for dictionaries and reference books;
- normal(medium) - intended for a significant part of publications of fiction and scientific literature, as well as textbooks;
- improved(smallest) - intended for books designed for a long period of use, for example, collected works, as well as for gift editions.
