Free Graph Paper - dingomick - 2007-04-25
This is important enough to merit a new topic (though it came from the Blank Scratchpad for Quizzes thread).
I found this site a couple years ago before I came to Japan. Free Online Graph Paper It allows you to make custom graph paper of any kind imaginable (useful also for games, art, etc, and has specialty paper like music notation, polar graph, etc).
It's options are pretty extensive from metric/English, line width, line color, number of rows/columns, page coverage, etc. I started out with 1cm squares when I first started Japanese, but have used 7mm squares ever since. You can also make bisected graphs so you can practice the balance of your kanji. I recommend 1cm grid/5mm bisected.
(Anyone living in Japan, just go to a bookstore. They have oodles of notebooks with grids in different sizes, bisected, and even ones that give a smaller line for furigana. The site does also offer a vertical kanji paper like this here).

Awesome, thanks! After the Blank Scratchpad topic, I was thinking of raiding the math office, but now I'll just print some paper. Damn, I wish I had this back when I played roguelikes.
I can't find the bisect option on any of the major pages, but my search wasn't exactly comprehensive.

Play with the MultiWidth generator.
This preset is a touch large for my taste, but it's exactly what I'm talking about for bisected kanji practice. (pdf link) Here

Hi,
unfortunately the site doesn't work anymore (or only now?)
Any other advises where to find paper for writing kanji online?
Thanks,
Proxx
Edit: Actually it's working again today :-)

Considering the cost of ink, isn't this far more expensive than buying the graph paper from a store?

Damn, I wish I had this back when I played roguelikes.You played roguelikes too?? *high five* You know, a good roguelike using kanji instead of ASCII would be one wicked way to drill a lot of the concrete noun kanji.
