Print guide
Pick paper size first, then orientation.
Start with the paper size your printer uses. Letter and A4 are separate so the grid keeps its margins and lines instead of shrinking or clipping during printing.
| Paper | Use case | |
|---|---|---|
| Standard pointy | Letter or A4 | Tabletop maps, worksheets, and column-based layouts |
| Standard flat | Letter or A4 | Horizontal movement maps and game planning sheets |
| Large-cell | Letter or A4 | Handwriting, classroom worksheets, and game notes |
| Light-line | Letter or A4 | Sketching when the hex grid should stay subtle |
| Landscape | Letter or A4 | Wide maps, board prototypes, and horizontal layouts |
Printing tips
Keep the grid predictable on paper.
Hex paper should print cleanly without making users fight the browser dialog. Choose the matching paper size, avoid automatic scaling when possible, and use the customizer when you need larger cells for handwriting or game notes.
- Choose Letter for US printers and A4 for most international printers.
- Use pointy-top for many map layouts and flat-top when horizontal rows matter.
- Increase hex size in the customizer when players or students need room to write inside cells.
Printable uses
Hex paper works best when the sheet matches the job.
Choose the paper size and orientation that fit your printer and project, then download a sheet that is ready to use.
RPG map sketching
Use pointy-top Letter or A4 paper for regions, encounters, travel routes, and hand-drawn maps.
Game design notes
Use flat-top sheets when testing horizontal movement, ranges, board spaces, or prototype layouts.
Classroom worksheets
Print blank hex paper for tessellation practice, coordinate lessons, map drawing, or design exercises.
Print checklist
Print one test page before making a stack.
Printers and browsers can scale PDFs differently. A quick check helps users avoid clipped edges, tiny cells, or mismatched paper size.
- Choose Letter for US printers and A4 for most international printers.
- Use 100% scale or Actual Size when your print dialog offers it.
- Switch orientation or increase hex size in the customizer if you need more writing room.
- Use Save as PDF from the print dialog after customizing a sheet in the browser.
