1/4 Inch Graph Paper (Quad Paper)

1/4 inch graph paper has four squares per inch. It is the standard grid in American schools and is often sold as "quad-ruled" or "4×4" paper. This version adds a slightly darker line every inch so you can measure distances at a glance — set "Bold line every" to None if you prefer a plain grid.
