Choosing and using this paper
Choosing and printing this specification
At 6.4 mm, these closely spaced rules suit small handwriting and dense revision notes. If tall letters or corrections touch the next line, move to 7.1 mm college ruling or 8.7 mm wide ruling instead of shrinking your handwriting.
How much space the layout gives you
Inside the page margins, the rules span 172 mm across and 259 mm vertically. There are 41 horizontal rules, creating 40 full writing bands. These counts describe the default sheet, before editor changes.
Paper and printer choice
Load A4 when using this preset. If your printer or binder uses US Letter, choose Letter in the editor before exporting; fitting an A4 PDF to Letter changes the spacing. Check where a hole punch will land before printing a stack. For blue or gray guides, print and photocopy one trial sheet first; faint lines may lose contrast in a copy.
Questions about this format
- How can I check the printed spacing?
Print at 100% or Actual Size, then measure from one rule or dot to the one ten intervals away. That distance should be 64 mm for this 6.4 mm preset. Measuring ten intervals is easier than judging one small gap; exclude the thickness of the lines.
