This is a fun website. I made my own grid paper in undergrad. It started late one night after all the bookstores were closed and I ran out mid-problem in dynamics class. The Professor took off points for not using grid paper so I made my own out of Excel grids(I wrote on the flip side). I didn't lose any points and continued for the remainder of the semester. At the time, the university printer computer labs did not have a printer quota.
I still buy preprinted grid paper and staff paper. It is extraordinarily difficult to force a printer to use the exact same width on each line. There are just too many layers of abstraction between the browser/document and the hardware.
I'm surprised it doesn't have a feature for intermittent breakpoints, like every 5th or 10th interval. I find that very useful for small size grid-lined paper.
Still, this is very nice, it's easy to see the potential for other features.
My canon mx860 can actually do this straight from its menu haha. There's a few options for college ruled, wide ruled, and grid paper. This web app has more choices, but the printer makes some amazing paper as is :D
Oh wow. I love this idea (edit: AND execution!).. I guess it's a minor bummer that I assume my printer won't print full-bleed but still... Things I'd love even more: Indications of exact sizing and the ability to choose what shade of gray/black to be printed.
very nice idea, very nice execution. Few things that imho need to be fixed (probably fast fixes):
1) Ensure that the print settings are correct. i.e. the pattern get splitted on two pages, for no reason.
2) resizing the browser window stretches/squeezes the picture. You shoud probably listen to the resize events and re-trigger the generation, change the patterns to some css, or simply set the generated image as cover.
3) translate the code in english. In softwares, having standards is a good thing.
http://gridzzly.com/getGrid.php?bunka=sit1&rozestup=3&width=... seems to crash any browser I throw at it. Granted you are trying to load a very large image, but still was surprised. It may 500 Internal Server Error I'm guessing if server runs out of memory while trying to make these large images.

Remember that dpi only controls print quality not print measurements. One cm printed at 300dpi will have the same length as one cm at 72dpi.
