1/10 Inch Graph Paper: uses, sizes and printing tips
10 × 10 graph paper with tenth-of-an-inch squares, medium lines every half inch and heavy lines every inch — the classic paper for plotting data precisely, because each heavy square is one inch divided into a hundred cells.
How to print it
- Choose the paper size (US Letter, A4, Legal, A5 or Half Letter) and portrait or landscape — the page updates as you change settings.
- Pick the square size, heavy lines every 4, 5 or 10 squares, and whether the grid has a border.
- Add a title or a name/date header if you want, or keep the page plain.
- Click Print / Save as PDF. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” (100%) and turn off “Headers and footers”.
Tips
- Use Fine or Normal line weight; Bold makes such a dense grid too dark.
- The grid always ends on whole squares and is centered on the page, so nothing is cut off at the edges.
- Turn off “Fit to page” in the print dialog — otherwise the printer shrinks the squares slightly.
FAQ
How do I read values on 10×10 paper?
Each small square is 0.1 of the heavy square, so you can plot values to one decimal place without estimating.
Is there a metric version?
Yes — millimeter graph paper has 1 mm squares with 5 mm and 1 cm lines.
How do I check that the squares printed at the right size?
Measure 10 squares with a ruler. At 100% scale, 10 squares of 1/4 inch measure exactly 2.5 inches, and 10 squares of 5 mm measure 5 cm.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
It is completely free with no sign-up and no download. Change the settings, print it or save it as a PDF, and bookmark the address — your settings are stored in the link.
