Use the lighter subdivision lines for detail and the heavier grid for grouping. This helps keep calculations and measured sketches legible.

Choose readable lines
Select line tone and weight, then print a test at 100% if the physical grid size matters.
Set a scale and label the work
Label axes or dimensions before plotting. Use the major grid lines to keep positions and calculations organized.
Check the finished sketch
Confirm units, lengths and plotted values. Keep a clean sheet alongside calculations when presenting a final diagram.

Try this. Very pale lines can disappear on some printers. Check a sample before printing a large batch.
