Lined Paper

About Lined Paper

The Lined Paper generator prints ruled writing paper at exactly the spacing you ask for. College rule is 7.1 mm, wide rule 8.7 mm and narrow rule 6.35 mm — the true spacings of ruled pads — and a custom setting takes any value between 3 and 30 mm.

The red margin rule sits 31.75 mm (1.25 in) from the left edge, where a ruled pad puts it, and can be switched off for plain ruling. A header space adds a Name and Date block with its own writing rules above the first line, which is what turns the sheet into a worksheet to hand in.

Lines come in fine, medium or bold weight, in blue, grey or a colour of your own, on A4 or Letter in portrait or landscape, with a margin from 0 to 40 mm and up to twenty pages. It is all drawn in real millimetres in your browser: print it from the page, or download a vector PDF.
