  Paper size - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The international paper size standard, ISO 216, is metric (the base format is a sheet of paper measuring 1 m²) and has been adopted by all countries in the world, except the United States and Canada.
ISO paper sizes are all based on a single aspect ratio of the square root of two, or approximately 1:1.4142.
Basing paper upon this ratio was conceived by Georg Lichtenberg in 1786, and in the beginning of the 20th century, Dr Walter Porstmann turned Lichtenberg's idea into a proper system of different paper sizes.

That way, if the paper slips a bit one way or the other, something is still being printed all the way up to (and beyond) the edge of the paper, thus eliminating white slivers at the edges of the paper.
Printing exactly a 4x6 on paper that is exactly 4x6 inches means that any slop in the paper loading mechanism is going to show up on your prints as a white sliver on one side and a sliver of the image missing off the opposite side.
