Lined Paper Generator
Make printable lined paper exactly the way you want it — from narrow-ruled notepaper to handwriting practice lines for children.
Print at 100% (“Actual size”), not “Fit to page”, and set margins to “None”, so the line spacing is exactly what you chose.
Choosing the right spacing
UK “narrow ruled” notepaper is about 7–8 mm between lines and “wide ruled” about 8.7–10 mm; US college ruled is 7.1 mm and wide ruled 8.7 mm. Younger children usually need 12–16 mm lines. Handwriting practice paper has a solid top line, a dashed middle line and a solid baseline, so letters can be sized correctly. For squared or dotted grids, see our graph paper generator.
