30 Best Lined Paper Templates

1. Consistent Line Spacing
Use uniform line spacing and margins across all pages to ensure neat, legible writing and reliable alignment when printing or writing by hand. Test a sample page to confirm that your lines don’t overflow margins and that the ruling remains visible on the page.

2. Page Setup for Printing
Set up your document with standard portrait orientation and appropriate margins so templates print cleanly on common paper sizes. Include margins that prevent ruling from being cut off by printers and consider adding a header or footer guide only if needed.

3. Customization and Accessibility
Offer multiple ruling options (wide ruled, college ruled, narrow) and consider including optional dotted or grid lines for different note-taking styles. Provide high-contrast versions (dark ink on light paper) or accessible font choices to improve readability for all users.
