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).
