I've seen this explanation, but I wonderf whether this is really true as the only paper sizes that are different, are USL and A4. Aren't the rest the same: Super A3 = 13x19. etc.?

On anther subject, I think that it's strange that the US market coontinues to use the USL size rather than A4 for photographic inkjet paper considering that most users print from 35 milllimiter, and that the A4 paper, being almost of the same proportion of width to length, allows a larger full frame print. Of sourse it's a holdover from office use of USL, but makes little sense.
