GraphPaper is a convenience tool for generating printable grids. It’s built carefully, but a few honest limits apply.

Check the scale before it matters

The generator lays out paper in true millimetres and the print path requests exact-size output — but the final size on paper depends on things outside the site’s control: the print dialog’s scaling setting, printer driver behaviour (“fit to printable area”, borderless modes), the paper size actually loaded, and in some cases the printer’s own calibration. For any use where dimensions must be exact — templates, drafting underlay, technical work — measure one grid cell with a ruler after printing and before relying on the sheet. The site’s own instructions repeat this: always print at 100% / Actual size.

Reference tool, not a specification

Grid definitions follow common conventions (engineering 5×5 subdivisions, Cornell layout, 55° Copperplate slant, standard paper sizes). These are conventions, not standards bodies’ requirements — institutions, teachers, and manufacturers may specify different layouts. Where a document mandates a specific format (an exam board’s required answer paper, a competition’s map spec), the official requirement wins over anything this tool produces.

No warranty

The site is provided as-is. We aim for correct geometry and verify the generator against expected cell counts and dimensions, but we don’t warrant that output is error-free, that every printer reproduces it faithfully, or that the site is uninterrupted. Use judgment for anything load-bearing.

Advertising and independence

The site may display third-party advertising (for example Google AdSense) to cover hosting. Advertisers have no influence over the grids, the geometry, or the editorial content — an ad is a rectangle on the page.

Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, GraphPaper and its maintainers accept no liability for losses arising from use of the site or reliance on its output — including mis-scaled printouts used in scale-critical work. When exact dimensions matter, the ruler on the finished page is the authority.
