About this graph paper

Each small square is 1/5 inch (0.2 in). Every fifth line is heavier, so the heavy lines mark a 1 inch grid. This layout is also called engineering or computation paper.

What it is used for

  • Sketches and diagrams to scale in inches
  • Engineering and physics homework
  • Graphs where you read values to 0.2

How to print at true size

  • Download the PDF for your paper: US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) or A4 (210 × 297 mm).
  • In the print dialog, set the scale to 100% or "Actual size", not "Fit to page".
  • Check one square with a ruler before you print a stack.
