About this landscape Tabloid (11 x 17) 10mm flat-base triangle grid
Tabloid paper provides twice the area of a US Letter sheet and is useful when a diagram or worksheet needs more room without moving to poster stock. Each equilateral triangle has 10mm sides and a perpendicular height of approximately 8.7 mm.
The flat-base option shifts the first diagonal row by half a triangle side, changing the phase visible at the upper grid edge. The centered grid area is approximately 410 x 251.1 mm, with 41 x 29 side-width and row-height intervals forming about 2,378 complete or edge-clipped triangular cells.

Why use Tabloid (11 x 17) 10mm triangle paper?
A 10mm triangle grid provides larger cells for bold constructions, labels, classroom demonstrations, quilting layouts, and designs that need more drawing room.
Geometry and tessellations
Use the three 60-degree line directions for equilateral triangles, rhombi, hexagons, symmetry exercises, transformations, and repeating geometric patterns.
Patterns, crafts, and maps
The 10mm triangles support quilting plans, bead and mosaic patterns, triangular maps, pixel-style designs, and technical sketches built from equal-sided units.
Flat Base layout on Tabloid (11 x 17)
The flat-base option shifts the first diagonal row by half a triangle side, changing the phase visible at the upper grid edge. The geometry stays the same, so choose the phase that makes the top of your drawing or pattern easiest to begin.
Tabloid (11 x 17) vs A3 10mm triangle paper
Both formats preserve the same 10mm side length and flat-base starting phase. Choose Tabloid (11 x 17) for large handouts, plans, and presentation sheets; choose A3 when engineering sketches and larger diagrams better matches the printer or project.

Print Tabloid (11 x 17) triangle grid paper at the correct scale
Use the PDF when the physical triangle dimensions matter. The side length and 60-degree geometry are preserved when the printer uses the correct paper and scale settings.
- 1
Load Tabloid (11 x 17) paper
Load 11 x 17 inch paper and select Tabloid or Ledger in the print dialog, depending on how your printer names this size.
- 2
Use Actual Size
Select Actual Size or 100% scale. Turn off Fit, Shrink, and Scale to Page options.
- 3
Match landscape orientation
Keep the print dialog set to landscape so the grid is not rotated or reduced automatically.
- 4
Check one triangle side
Use a ruler to confirm that one horizontal triangle side measures 10mm.

FAQ
Answers specific to printing 10mm flat-base triangle grid paper on Tabloid (11 x 17).
What does 10mm triangle size mean?
The listed size is the length of every side of each equilateral triangle. Its perpendicular height is approximately 8.7 mm.
How many triangles fit on Tabloid (11 x 17) paper?
This landscape template forms about 2,378 complete or edge-clipped triangular cells inside a centered 410 x 251.1 mm grid area.
What is the difference between point up and flat base?
Both options have identical triangle dimensions and line directions. Flat base shifts the first diagonal row by half a side, changing which phase begins at the upper edge of the grid.
Which print setting keeps the triangles true to size?
Select Tabloid (11 x 17) paper, use Actual Size or 100% scale, and disable Fit to Page. Then verify that one horizontal side measures 10mm.
Should I use portrait or landscape Tabloid (11 x 17) triangle paper?
Portrait works well for worksheets, vertical patterns, and notebook-style diagrams. Landscape provides more horizontal room for wide constructions, maps, quilts, and classroom demonstrations.
