A guide without full lines

Dots mark the corners of an invisible square grid. You can line up text, boxes, and drawings while leaving the space between the dots clear.

Start with 5 mm for a compact layout. Try a wider spacing if you write large or want more room for sketches.

Keep the dots behind your work

Smaller, lighter dots leave more visual space for handwriting. Larger, darker dots are easier to follow when drawing a layout.

If a test print is too faint, choose a darker ink or Black before changing the spacing.
