Reply To: Slight rant – mm vs inches

Well – hmmm – it doesn’t make a difference but there could be a slight rounding off with InDesign.

1mm is exactly 0.0393700787402 inches.

And 1 inch is exactly 25.399999999972568 mm

In the grand scheme of things – it doesn’t make a difference.

But for clarity – no matter where in the world I’m sending to I work in mm and never anything else. I’ve stopped working in picas and points about 10 years ago as nobody else outside of printing knew what it meant.
