ruled paper

Horizontally striped stationery

Ruled paper is paper printed with horizontal lines to guide handwriting, keeping letters uniform and rows straight.

The lines may be wide-ruled (for younger students or large handwriting) or college-ruled (narrower spacing).

Graph paper and legal pads are varieties of ruled paper.
