College Ruled Paper on US Letter, exactly as it prints.
College ruled is defined as 9/32 inch between lines — 7.1 mm — with a margin 1.25 inches from the left edge. It is the standard for secondary and university notebooks in the US, where the wider ruling is considered a primary school format.
The narrower spacing fits roughly six more lines on a page than wide ruled, which over a semester of lecture notes is a meaningful saving in paper.
Every sheet here is free, adjustable and prints at exact scale.
9/32 of an inch, or 7.1 mm, between lines. Wide ruled is 11/32 inch, about 8.7 mm.
Traditionally 1.25 inches — about 32 mm — from the left edge of the sheet, which clears a standard three-hole punch. That is where it sits here; the Margin position box reads 22 mm because it measures from the 10 mm page margin.
