For a very useful explanation of the ISO paper standard sizes, you may like to refer to this link by Markus Kuhn.

Details of the acceptable tolerance for A series paper sizes is discussed in the link above; however it is reasonable to expect variation of paper sizes by a little bit.

Useful Roll Paper Sizes

330mm
Epson 1290, 2100 etc
