Tips

Print at actual size

Choose "Actual size" or 100% in the print dialog. "Fit to page" shrinks the grid slightly, so squares will no longer measure exactly.

Use 1/4 inch with bold every 4

Each bold square is then exactly one inch, which makes measuring and scaling drawings easy.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graph paper printed at the exact size?

Yes. Squares are drawn in exact physical units, so a 1/4 inch square measures 1/4 inch when printed at actual size.

What is the most common graph paper size?

In the US, 1/4 inch (4 squares per inch). Outside the US, 5 mm squares on A4 are most common.

Can I get engineering or quad paper?

Yes. 1/5 inch with bold lines every 5 squares matches engineering paper, and 1/4 inch matches quad-ruled paper.
