Since I've switched all my class notes over to my circa/rollabind notebooks, printing my own paper on HP 32# Premium Choice, I've been on the lookout for the templates that are clean, usable, and with understated colors. With the default templates from Incompetech and Doane in PDF format, I was never able to get the colors just the way that I wanted them.

Finally, I ended up taking some ideas from the Incompetech and Doane Paper templates and created my own versions of the Cornell Lined template, and the Doane Lined Grid template.





I have converted my originals to 300dpi GIF and have linked the full files below for anyone who is interested.

Cornell 4-lpi Green
Cornell 4-lpi Blue
Cornell 4-lpi Grey

Lined Grid - Blue
Lined Grid - Green
Lined Grid - Grey
Lined Grid - Teal

These look great printed on my little HP Deskjet... perfect for my notetaking needs.

Hope you find these useful!

Edit: Fixed link to green cornell template.

These are great! Thank you.

Many thanks, much appreciated!

Those are neat. How did you do that?

Thanks for making these up, these look great.

Now I just need to get a paper punch from levenger.

Would you mind giving a tutorial on how you set these up?

A tutorial would be great. Photobucket is down.

It wasn't hard.

For the Cornell Templates, I used the Incompetech Graph Paper generator (http://incompetech.com/graphpaper) to get close to the Cornell template that I wanted.

For the Lined Grid I started with the PDF template from Doane Paper (http://www.doanepaper.com/dppdf2.pdf).

To tweak the colors, sizes, line weights, alphas, and margins to get it exactly the way I wanted it, I used the FoxIt PDF editor (not free, though).

To convert to the 300dpi GIFs, I used the Omniformat Converter from Software995.com.

I would have just posted my tweaked PDF files instead of the GIFs, but I didn't have hosting for them, and photobucket just hosts images.

I was just reading in another thread about googlepages, so perhaps, if people are interested in the original PDF's for these images, I can post them there.

rapisdhare.com, mytempdir.com, megaupload.com etc all are free and quick

I'd be interested in the .pdfs for my IB students use.

pm me for E-mail.
