# Graph paper to print

Graph paper at 5 mm squares, the size that suits maths homework, floor plans and circuit sketches. The grid is centred on the page so the margins are even, and the lines are light enough to write over. Print one page or a whole pad.

## How to use graph paper

A grid of fine squares, 5 mm apart, for maths, plotting, drawing to scale and neat tables.

### Step by step

1. Pick a scale. Decide what one square means (1 unit, 1 metre, 10 pixels) before you start, and keep it the same across the page.
2. Plot from a fixed origin. For graphs, choose an origin square and count along and up from it. For drawings, count squares to keep proportions true.
3. Line up across the page. The grid lets you align columns and rows exactly, which is what makes graph paper better than lined for tables and plans.

**A grid that reads**

The squares are fine and mid grey so your ink and pencil stand out clearly against them, on screen and in print.

**Good for**

Maths and science, engineering sketches, pixel and cross-stitch design, and scale drawings.

## Making a whole journal?

This page makes one sheet. To publish a journal, the [journal maker](https://www.oncebooks.com/journal-maker) binds up to 400 pages of this ruling at any trim, with the gutter sized for the page count, as a print-ready 300 DPI interior and a wraparound cover. Set it up once, export any size.
