In the US I see
On A4 size devices:
ANSI 1/2A =Statement-R
ANSI A =Letter-R
Legal
COM10 envelope
On A3 size devices:
ANSI A =Letter
ANSI A =Letter-R
ANSI B =Tabloid (usually incorrectly labeled Ledger)
COM10 envelope
On the KM presses:
ANSI A =Letter
ANSI B =Tabloid
Arch A =9X12
Arch B =Full Bleed 12x18
Super B or B+ or ISO A3+ =13x19
On wide format (almost all roll feed):
Arch C
Arch D
Arch E1
Arch E
I have a few international customers that have trays for A4 & A3. And I've had to use B5 occasionally when it's the closest fit to the odd thing they're printing. Thank goodness most manufacturers now make it easy to make these selections. Not so much on the analog devices. On the Canon analog machines there used to be a soft switch in the service mode to select US versus Metric, preventing you from using A4 and Letter on the same machine. And no custom sizes.
