18″ x 24″ is a good size, one that I’ve not encountered before.
I’ve never come across the designation ‘Super A4′ either, and it seems wildly inaccurate, A4 being 8.25″ x 11.75″.
I worked for a U.S. company, which meant also keeping stocks of US quarto, which of course is the rather nicely balanced 8.5″ x 11″, as opposed to UK quarto which was 8″ x 10″!
17″ x 22″ is available here in the UK, close to A2 size, which is 16 1/2″ x 23 3/8″. Again, falling short of 18″ x 24″.
My favourite paper size in the days of regularly making prints in the wet darkroom was 9.5″ x 12″, so I can see the attraction of your chosen size.
There’s a comprehensive overview of this minefield of US/UK/European paper sizes at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html – but maybe there are better things to do in life…
