This page opens the Lined Paper generator with the Wide Ruled preset selected: 11/32 inch, which equals exactly 8.73125 mm between horizontal lines. US Letter and portrait orientation are the defaults here; you can change paper size, orientation, and margins before downloading.
The live preview and the exported PDF use the same millimetre layout model, so the spacing you see is the spacing used for print.

What Is Wide Ruled Paper?
Wide ruled paper is lined paper with a relatively wide distance between horizontal writing lines. The extra vertical space can make handwriting, notes, and drafts easier to keep neat when you want more room on each line.
It is a practical format for everyday writing, classroom practice, journaling, and any task where a more open ruled page is preferable to a denser layout.
Wide Ruled vs College Ruled
Wide Ruled uses wider line spacing (11/32 inch / 8.73125 mm on this page). College Ruled uses narrower spacing (9/32 inch), so the same page size typically fits more writing lines.
Neither format is universally better. Choose Wide Ruled when you want more vertical room per line, or College Ruled Paper when you want more lines on the page.
Line Spacing Explanation
The MeowPaper Wide Ruled preset uses 11/32 inch. In millimetres that is exactly 8.73125 mm (from 25.4 × 11 ÷ 32). The generator, SVG preview, and PDF export all use this exact value—not a rounded stand-in such as 8.7 mm or 8.75 mm.
You can switch to other spacing presets in the generator if you need a different ruled format on the same page.
Paper Sizes and Printing
The Lined Paper generator supports A4, A5, B5, Letter, Legal, and custom page sizes, with portrait or landscape orientation. This Wide Ruled landing page defaults to US Letter and portrait; change those controls if you need another size.
Margins adjust the usable writing area while the selected page size stays the same.
How to Print
Download the PDF, open it in a viewer that supports printing, and choose the paper size that matches your PDF and printer tray.
Use Actual Size or 100% scale when available, and avoid Fit to Page or similar options if you need the intended physical line spacing. Printer hardware and margins can still affect the result—check a sample interval with a ruler when accuracy matters.
