By size/in size


Hi there!



please, I need to know if it is really wrong to say:



"The pictures will be printed in sizes 1 x 2 m"



I know that I should use "by" instead of "in" but is there a case when I can use "in size"??



Thanks

"In" is correct. Perhaps you are thinking of the spoken version: "The pictures will be printed in sizes 1 by 2 m" If you say "printed by", you would be indicating the person, company, etc. that does the printing.

Thanks for the explanation
