I've been trying to google/amazon this and having basically no results, so I'm asking here in case anyone knows:
I need graph paper. Specifically I need LARGE graph paper. Like, not an A4 sheet, I need A1-A0 (24/33" or 33x46").
4x4 per inch, or 5x5 per inch grid spaces. I basically need a graph paper with a TON of squares, and I'm not finding it.
@foone ironically, I use something like this this at work and we have a big stack in the drafting supplies cabinet... but we've been working through the same stack for years and I have no idea where it came from or what name it's sold under.
but I will investigate and see what I can find out!
@foone does it absolutely have to be one contiguous sheet, or could it be made up from individual tiles of smaller ones? Is this for some kind of planning purpose or do they need to be seamless for aesthetics? Thinking of the approach I took with my 3d printed pixels, I'd probably experiment with printing a ton of gridded pages in A4 while heading to the shops for foamboard and a decent guillotine - that way you could also precisely set/control the size of each square.
@foone Oh wow, I found 11x17" with 8 sq/inch at my local art shop and got it to make minecraft plans on (And then have only used it to make Fire Emblem shipping grids)
However, if you just need lots of squares, it is 88x136 squares, which isn't THAT far off the 96x132 squares you listed. Would that work for you? I can look up the brand and stuff if you want, I've got it right over there.
I'm hoping I can get it somewhere pre-made but my fallback option is to get a "poster" made that's a custom image I've made that's just a grid. The only issue there would be finding the right texture paper, I don't want something glossy that I can't color in
@foone If you can find a print shop specifically with a plan printer, they might do the trick. They're still out there, and they're often giant A1 width laser drums. They'll spit one out in seconds from a hardcopy, or a PDF.
Printers that service architectural places would have them. Modern ones are inkjets and a bit slower, but still doable.
@foone Print it on your E-size inkjet printer or plot it on your E-size pen #plotter. Unfortunately my E-size inkjet cartridges are all dried up and they don't make them anymore.
@foone heck, you could even do it the hard way like we did back in the '80s: piece of paper and a straight edge. I have some hex grid sheets that my mom made for me (for use with Steve Jackson games) with a plastic hex template and pencil over and over and over on a single sheet of D-size paper.
