- charlieyu1 3y agoUsed to use this a lot. Always wondered how they keep up with the costs. Turn out it is donations
- ocdtrekkie 3y agoI can't imagine it's that expensive to run.
- MitPitt 3y agoThey draw all squares by hand
- kristopolous 3y agoA $4/month VPS could handle it trivially
- lost_tourist 3y agoDepends on how heavily it gets hit. Anything else is just speculating how much it costs.
- bl4kers 3y agoI was expecting an interactive document instead of printable templates
- xpe 3y agoPDF can guarantee precise control over printed output wrt dimensions. I have hoped to find this with modern HTML and CSS but it still seems a little variable across browsers, at least when fonts are involved.
- Double_a_92 3y agoI wonder why the dotted paper is not more common. If I go into a shop all I get is either lined, or squares.
- red_trumpet 3y agoI was training persian letters yesterday and actually found it more difficult on dotted paper than on lined paper. So maybe the answer is that schools start with lined paper, and then everyone sticks with it? Also I guess school children are the primary buyers of lined paper?
- seanhunter 3y agoDotted paper is the absolute best by far, followed by grid squares. Everything else feels like an enormous downgrade to me now that I have got used to having dots.
- polyterative 3y agodots are cool
- chris-orgmenta 3y agohex-dots being the coolest and most powerful
- xpe 3y agoIf one wants quality graph paper, whether bound or loose leaf, I would think one will probably seek out a specialty store, likely online.
- mif 3y agoThe „perspective“ lines are awesome for drawing.
- p0w3n3d 3y agoneed to be wary of the printer's printing resolution. My hp 400 is not printing all lines of some types of grid papers...
- Sym3tri 3y agoVery nice offering. Only suggestion for improvement would be a live preview when editing the parameters.
- gtsnexp 3y agoAwesome, perfect with tablet
- partomniscient 3y agoBack in the day, you had to beg the parent you had that had access to a photocopier at work to make copies for you from your special best 'reserved for replication' original, because if you used your last one you couldn't make more.
- noufalibrahim 3y agoI wrote something like this to generate ruling sheets for calligraphy at http://calligraffiti.in/rulings http://calligraffiti.in/rulings. I had to learn a little about PDF generation to write and this and that translated into a project which gave me enough money to keep me afloat during an especially dry period during covid.
- js8 3y agoHis music is even better. I wish he supported other payment than Paypal, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
- cyxxon 3y agoI just saw that a very typical sheet used a lot in Germany is missing in your awesome offering: Millimeterpapier, i.e. a 1mm grid with slighty thicker lines every 10 mm, in a reddish hue, as can bee seen here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millimeterpapier https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millimeterpapier - but from there I noticed that on Wikipedia there is already a ton of these PDFs as samples!
- Pinus 3y agoIt’s funny how paper patterns vary with geography. Across the Baltic Sea, in Sweden, you can certainly find "millimeterpapper", as we call it, but it’s a bit of a speciality item, and I have rarely, if ever, seen anyone actually use it. Especially now, that all graphs are done on a computer anyway. On that subject, I’m fascinated by the many special-purpose more-or-less-grid papers there are out there. Yet, whenever I see photos of these papers in use, the user does not seem to have used it for its intended purpose, but simply as a random piece of paper. For example, what is the motivation for the "engineer" paper on this site?
- executesorder66 3y agoPRetty sure this covers it : https://incompetech.com/graphpaper/multicolor/ https://incompetech.com/graphpaper/multicolor/ Just change the values to 0.1 cm.
- tsuru 3y agoI was hoping to find isometric grid for some technical drafting nostalgia but they only have 45 degree
- blagie 3y agoI like this a lot. Curiously, it's useless for what I use graph paper for. I'll describe my idealized graph paper -- similar to what I made myself in a drawing program, but with several improvements taken from browsing these and seeing things done better than I did: - Coarse centimeter line grid - Fine millimeter dot grid - Optionally, a thicker line occasionally (e.g. every 4-5cm), or better yet, a cross-grid. - A rectangle in the bottom right where I can place a label Grid should go edge-to-edge (with a bit of bleed in the design). I'm not saying that's anybody else's ideal. That's ideal for what I do. There is no "best," but there is "suitability to purpose" combined with "what one is used to." I think the way to do this would be the same webapp, but where it's possible to overlay several of these on top of each other. Multiweight and multicolor should be a combination of a pair of single weight / single color. The way to do a lot of this, by the way, is in PostScript programming. Footnote: Reading more of the web site, this guy is clearly awesome.

- mikestew 3y agoCome for the graph paper, stay for the snark. Go to the Grid Dots page[0], and... I'm going to guess you're really into pens. Not an unhealthy amount... but more than most. It's like the web page sees into my mind! [0] https://incompetech.com/graphpaper/squaredots/ https://incompetech.com/graphpaper/squaredots/
