    Frequently asked questions

    What spacing can I choose?

    4 mm, 5 mm or 6 mm, or 1/4 or 1/5 inch between dot centres. 5 mm is selected first.

    How many dots are on a page of 5 mm dot grid paper?

    37 × 54 dots on A4 (1998 in all) and 38 × 50 on US Letter.

    How big are the dots?

    Fine dots are 0.4 mm across, Medium dots are 0.6 mm across, Bold dots are 0.8 mm across. Grey dots stay faint under ink; choose black for photocopying.

    How do I check the spacing printed correctly?

    Print at “Actual size” or 100%. On 5 mm paper, eleven dots in a row span exactly 5 cm from the first to the last.

    What is dot grid paper used for?

    Bullet journals, sketching, hand lettering, diagrams and notes. The dots guide lines and boxes without the busy look of a full grid, and they disappear into drawings.
