I just saw that a very typical sheet used a lot in Germany is missing in your awesome offering: Millimeterpapier, i.e. a 1mm grid with slighty thicker lines every 10 mm, in a reddish hue, as can bee seen here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millimeterpapier - but from there I noticed that on Wikipedia there is already a ton of these PDFs as samples!

It’s funny how paper patterns vary with geography. Across the Baltic Sea, in Sweden, you can certainly find "millimeterpapper", as we call it, but it’s a bit of a speciality item, and I have rarely, if ever, seen anyone actually use it. Especially now, that all graphs are done on a computer anyway.

On that subject, I’m fascinated by the many special-purpose more-or-less-grid papers there are out there. Yet, whenever I see photos of these papers in use, the user does not seem to have used it for its intended purpose, but simply as a random piece of paper. For example, what is the motivation for the "engineer" paper on this site?
