Handwriting paper, ¾ inch

This is the size a lot of schools spend the first term of Grade 1 on. It is worth printing a page of it before dropping to ⅝: if letters are still hitting the top line, the paper is not the problem yet.

Everything else about it matches the ⅝ sheet — same three lines, same dashed midline, same tail space — so moving down a size changes one thing at a time.

The rules are drawn as real strokes at real sizes — not a picture of lines, and not a background tint. That matters more than it sounds: browsers drop background graphics when printing unless the reader has gone looking for the setting, so ruled paper made the obvious way looks perfect on screen and comes out of the printer blank. Put a ruler on this one. It is the size it says it is.

This sheet is set for US Letter — 8.5 × 11 inches. Paper size is not a preference here: sent to a printer loaded with something else, the browser shrinks the page to fit, and a ruling that has been shrunk is no longer the size it was chosen for. So there is a second copy of this sheet, ruled identically and measured for A4.
