Printable Semi-Log Graph Paper

Count the powers of ten in the data range. Values from 1 to 1,000 need three cycles; values from 1 to 10,000 need four.

The prepared resources use a logarithmic Y-axis and a linear X-axis. Use the generator if you need the logarithmic scale on the X-axis instead.

Label each major cycle boundary with the power of ten required by your data. Within a cycle, the minor lines represent 2 through 9 times the value at the beginning of that cycle.

Choose PDF when you want to print at an accurate physical size. Use PNG for notes, worksheets, and image-based documents. Choose SVG when you need an editable vector file for a drawing or design application.

Portrait gives you more vertical working room for worksheets, notes, and tall diagrams. Landscape gives you more horizontal room for charts, maps, tables, timelines, and wide drawings. The prepared measurements stay the same in either orientation when you print at 100%.

The print dialog probably scaled the page. Print the PDF at Actual Size or 100%, and turn off Fit to Page, Shrink, and other automatic scaling options. The paper size selected in the print dialog must also match the file you downloaded.
