11x17 Paper

Paper, commercially, comes in various sizes ranging from letter size to the large 13x19 and beyond. The most common size, however, in engineering offices and other areas of workspace, is the 11”x17” paper. This size of a sheet of paper is usually called the Tabloid, Ledger or B size paper.

11" x 17" paper is used in offices that require large-sized drawings or documentation that would not appropriately fit on a standard Letter size paper. Wide-format sheets are not ideal for carrying and walking around during construction. Commercial architectural drawings are planned out and drawn on an ANSI D 22" x 34" sheets.

CAD

Computer Animated Drawing software such as AutoCAD is used by engineers and drafters to create these drawings. The 11" x 17" paper is a perfect 1/4 scale that is manageable for an engineer or builder to carry. By making drawings smaller users can handle the document at the job site, make corrections, are review the technical drawings without rolling or folding the more massive blueprint. Printing an 11x17 paper is more cost effective as there are more economical printers available at a lower cost than wide format printers.
Moreover, the 11x17 paper is used in magazines to fold and compile multiple sheets together as well as in printing posters.

Big Advantage for using 11x17 sheets opposed to other sizes

By using the 11" x 17" paper sheet size, users can read the technical drawing created in the CAD software. Large size drawings scaled too much make interpreting the specific details impossible. Folding a 22x34 sheet creates creases that can distort the readability for users also. Rolling a 22x34 is simple, and can be mobile, yet trying to hold a previously rolled plan is nearly impossible without a drafting table present.

Printing 11x17 Paper

Technological advances have provided more manufacturers the ability to create printers that can accommodate 11" x 17" tabloid sheets.
11x17 sized paper is no longer explicitly used in laserjet printers. Now inkjet printers can also utilize 11x17 paper.

John 3:16-20 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.  This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
