Graph paper printables
Graph paper is a spacing problem. Quarter-inch squares for classrooms, 5 mm for metric maths, engineering pads with major lines, dots for sketching, isometric for 3D, hex for games. This shelf takes one representative per grid type plus the sizes people print most, not every spacing × paper pair.
Each card opens a generator that draws in points (1/72 inch). Preview matches the PDF. Change line color and orientation on the destination page.
Print at 100% with scaling off — “actual size,” not “fit to page” — or the grid will not match a ruler.
