Graph Paper print blank grids

Grid type

Quick start

A quick start sets up the grid; your paper, header and colours stay as they are.

Paper

Most printers can't reach the very edge of the sheet — keep at least ¼ in (6 mm) of margin.

Grid size

Grids per page

Split the page into several separate grids — handy for a set of small coordinate planes.

Options

The hexagon grows to fill the space inside the margins. Pointy top comes out bigger on a portrait page, flat top on landscape. Set more grids across or down to get several big hexagons to cut out.

“Label every 2” numbers every second tick, and makes those ticks longer.

Lines & colour

Lines

Bold lines

0 turns bold lines off. Every 4 squares of ¼ in makes a bold line each inch.

Border

Axes & numbers

Header & footer

Fill-in lines

Footer

The check bar should measure exactly 1 in (or 2 cm) on paper. If it doesn't, the printer scaled the page — print at 100% / “Actual size”.

Pages & export

The PDF is the most reliable way to get true-size squares. When printing from the browser, choose 100% / “Actual size” and turn off headers and footers.
