Printed sheets
Posted: Sun Jan 05, 2025 9:11 am
According to GOST R 7.0.3 – 2006, the printed sheet has a format of 60 × 90 centimeters. Why exactly so much? The fact is that most large printing machines traditionally print on such large sheets. Then the sheets are cut into separate pages.
This is roughly what a printing machine that prints on a 60 x 90 cm format looks like.
Now you know what a printed sheet looks like .
Let's read GOST further. In order to represent the volume of printed products (books, magazines, etc.), the concept of a conventional printed sheet (conventional printed sheet) is used. This is a conventional (i.e. imaginary) sheet of 60 × 90 cm format.
In order to convert any format into conventional printed sheets, you need to calculate the conversion factor. It's very easy! Let's, for example, find the conversion factor for a standard A4 sheet ( the magazine "Young Scientist" is published in this format ).
First, let's find the area of the printed sheet. To do this, multiply 60 centimeters by 90 centimeters - we get 5400 sq. cm.
Now let's find the area of the A4 sheet. To do this, multiply 21 centimeters by 29.7 centimeters - you get 623.7 sq. cm.
Now we just divide the area of the A4 sheet by the area of the printed sheet. 623.7 / 5400 = 0.1155.

That's it, the calculation is complete. The coefficient for converting A4 sheets into conventional printed sheets is 0.1155. Or, in other words, one A4 page is 0.1155 conventional printed sheets.
In the same way, it is very easy to get other afghanistan telemarketing data coefficients. If you are not sure what format the book is published in, just take a ruler and measure the length and width of the page!
Author's sheets
Remember, at the beginning of the article we said that you can count by sheets and by characters? We just learned that calculation by sheets occurs in conventional printed sheets. As a rule, by characters they count in author's sheets .
In Russia, one author's sheet is:
40,000 printed characters (including punctuation marks, numbers and spaces),
700 lines (for poetic text),
3,000 sq. cm. (for illustrations).
Previously, it was difficult to count author's sheets. To do this, the publishing house would have to have special employees who would count all the letters in the book with a pencil in hand.
It was not easy, so often the author's sheets were simply estimated, based on some average parameters. It is from those times that the well-known "formula" comes, that one A4 page fits approximately 1800 characters. Previously, this could still be used, but now, when Word counts characters automatically, this coefficient makes no sense.
So to calculate the text volume in author's characters, just ask Word and then divide by 40,000 :
