Frequently asked questions
Does each small square really measure 1 mm?
Yes, as long as you print on A4 with the scale at 100%. Check with a ruler: ten small squares must measure 1 cm.
Can I save the millimeter paper as a PDF?
Yes. Tap Print the sheet and, in the print window, choose Save as PDF instead of a printer.
Which color should I pick?
Gray uses black ink only. Blue and orange look like the pads sold in stationery shops and make pencil lines stand out.
Does the sheet use a lot of ink?
No. The lines are thin and light, and the sheet has no header.
