What paper size should I use?

This template supports 2 paper sizes. The default is CompositionNotebook (8.5"×11" in the US). A4 (210×297mm) is standard in many other countries. You can switch the size in the editor before downloading so the PDF matches your printer paper.

Is this template free?

Yes. All templates on PaperGens are free to download and use. There is no registration, subscription, or payment. You can print as many copies as you need for personal, school, or work use.

What is the line spacing?

The line spacing is set for readability. College-ruled paper typically uses 7.1mm (9/32 inch) between lines, which is standard in US high schools and colleges. Wide-ruled paper uses 8.7mm (11/32 inch) and is common in elementary and middle school. You can change the spacing in the editor if you need a custom size.

Can I print this on regular printer paper?

Yes. This template is designed to print on standard Letter (8.5"×11") or A4 printer paper. Use the same size in the template as the paper in your printer. Regular 20–24 lb copy paper works well for most uses. For double-sided writing, slightly heavier paper can reduce show-through.
