One-eighth inch graph paper packs twice as many squares into the page as the quarter-inch grid. It is the choice when you need to draw small details to scale, write tiny numbers, or fit a long graph on one sheet. Each inch is bounded by a heavier line, so counting is still quick.
At this size the lines are drawn thin so that the grid sits behind your pencil work instead of dominating it. If your printer prints very light, pick a darker grid colour in the generator.
