Engineering Graph Paper
Engineering computation paper with a 5-per-inch grid, bold inch lines and a header for name, date, page and subject.
What it's for
Engineering paper uses a grid of 5 squares per inch with heavier lines each inch, plus a header block for project details. It is traditionally printed in light green so pencil work stands out.
Which size to choose
US Letter is standard; A4 works the same with a slightly taller grid.
Printing tips
- Pick the paper size above first. The print dialog should then show the same size; if it doesn't, choose it there too.
- Set Scale to 100% or Actual size (not "Fit to page") so measurements stay true. Margins are already built into the sheet.
- Turn off "Headers and footers" in the print dialog for a clean edge.
- Choose Grey to save ink, or Black if you will photocopy the page.
