Graph Paper

摘要

A graph paper is provided that is adapted to prevent transfer of construction lines from an original sheet to a copied sheet when using a photocopier or scanner. The graph paper comprises one or more sheets having grid lines in a grid pattern thereon. The lines are printed such that they comprise a similar grayscale value with respect to the page grayscale color. The difference between grid line grayscale value and the page grayscale value are such that a photocopy machine or a scanner will not readily register the lines when transferring the images of the page, and therefore will not readily transfer the grid pattern from the original page to a copy or reproduced image. The graph paper is therefore adapted for use when taking hand calculations or notes by hand, whereafter the writing can be reproduced without the clutter of the grid lines being transferred when copied or scanned.

主权项

1. A method of producing graph paper to reduce transference of construction lines when photocopied or scanned, comprising the steps of:
choosing construction lines having a grid pattern; choosing a paper color in grayscale, said paper color having a grayscale value between 0 and 100 percent; choosing a construction color in grayscale, said construction color having a grayscale value between 0 and 100 percent and closely related to said paper color so as to minimize visual differences between said construction color and said paper color; printing said construction lines in said construction color on a writable material of said paper color.
