Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between ruled and college-ruled paper?
It is the gap between the lines. Wide ruled has about 8.7 mm spacing and suits larger handwriting and younger writers. College ruled is tighter at about 7.1 mm, which fits more lines on a page for older students and dense notes. You can set any spacing you like here.
What is dot grid paper for?
Dot grid replaces solid lines with a light grid of dots. It guides your writing and drawing without the dots being as visible as full lines, which is why it is popular for bullet journals, sketches and mixing text with diagrams on the same page.
Can I print lined paper with no margin line?
Yes. Turn the left margin line off for a plain ruled sheet, or leave it on for the red margin many exercise books use. You can also lighten the lines to a faint grey, which is handy when you want the writing to stand out more than the ruling.
