Precise without being as busy as millimeter paper. Use a thin, light line.
What 2 mm graph paper is good for
- Precise plotting.
- Floor plans at 1:50 (one square = 10 cm).
- Electronics diagrams and embroidery patterns.
How many 2 mm squares fit on a page
Whole squares only, grid centered on the page. With a 10 mm (about 0.4 inch) margin and with no margin:
| Paper | 10 mm margin | No margin |
|---|---|---|
| Letter (8.5 × 11 in) | 97 × 129 = 12,513 | 107 × 139 = 14,873 |
| Legal (8.5 × 14 in) | 97 × 167 = 16,199 | 107 × 177 = 18,939 |
| Tabloid (11 × 17 in) | 129 × 205 = 26,445 | 139 × 215 = 29,885 |
| A4 (210 × 297 mm) | 95 × 138 = 13,110 | 105 × 148 = 15,540 |
| A3 (297 × 420 mm) | 138 × 200 = 27,600 | 148 × 210 = 31,080 |
| A5 (148 × 210 mm) | 64 × 95 = 6,080 | 74 × 105 = 7,770 |
With small squares, a thin line in a light color keeps the page from looking gray.
