Engineering Paper

Engineering paper, sometimes called engineering computation paper, traditionally has a light green grid of 5 squares per inch with a heavier line every inch. The soft green is easy on the eyes and fades into the background when you photocopy your work.

Frequently asked questions

Why is engineering paper green?

A light green grid is easy to read against, reduces glare and does not show up strongly on photocopies, so the handwritten work stands out.

What grid does engineering paper use?

The classic layout is 5 squares per inch (0.2 inch squares) with a bold line every inch, which is the default here.
