Technical drawing paper

Engineering paper is graph paper with a distinctive green or buff grid printed on the back side, so the grid shows through faintly on the writing surface but doesn't reproduce when photocopied.

The format, typically with a 1/5-inch or 1/10-inch grid, is standard for technical calculations, sketches, and problem sets in engineering and science courses: She worked through the equations on engineering paper.
