Writing Papers For Mac

Writing Papers is a user-friendly OS X app designed to be a calligrapher’s best friend by helping you quickly and easily design your own calligraphy guide paper and printing with a simple mouse click.

To put it differently, having Writing Papers installed on your Mac means that you no longer have to order your ruled paper sheets online or buy them from the store. Once you get this app up and running on your computer, you can effortlessly create and print out your own practice sheets, with little to no effort.

Moreover, after launching Writing Papers, you are presented with a blank page that can be customized using a simple and intuitive dialog which helps you choose the resulting calligraphy guide paper’s page size, margins, layout setup and the number of sheet copies to be generated.

Writing Papers allows you to choose from a list of paper size the one that fits the project at hand and, via the Margins options, it also makes it simple to delimitate the handwriting area on the page.

With the help of the Layout Setup preferences, you can quickly adjust the resulting grid and dot size, as well as the grid’s line width / color and dot alignment / color for extra customization.

Within this category of tools, Writing Papers also offers you a “Fit lines to grid” option that makes it possible to superimpose the printed lines over the ruled paper’s grid in order to avoid generating ruled paper sheets out of sync writing guides.

Using the Sheet Copies control, you can quickly choose the exact number of pages to be added to the output PDF containing your calligraphy guide paper template.

On the downside, Writing Papers allows you to create calligraphy paper using only horizontal lines therefore, if you need to create other, more advanced types of guide paper (i.e. hexagonal, music, penmanship, polar), you will have to find other, more complex apps.

If you’re a calligraphy lover that likes to write on paper instead of typing everything on a computer and you only need lined guide paper, you should give Writing Papers a spin because it might be just the thing you need to save money by creating your own ruled sheets.
