Print at 100% / Actual size for an exact grid.

An A4 sheet with 10 mm margins holds a 190 × 277 mm grid. Because the lines are so close together, print with a laser printer or at the highest quality setting, and make sure the scale is set to 100%.

Frequently asked questions

Will a home printer print a 1 mm grid correctly?

Most modern printers can. If the fine lines look faint, switch to a darker color or a heavier line weight, and print at "Best" quality.

Can I add a bold line every 5 mm as well?

Set "Bold line every" to 5 squares for a bold line every 5 mm, or 10 squares for every centimetre (the default).
