Some Cornell and Lined Grid Templates (300 dpi GIF)


Recommended Posts

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.

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

 

Hope you find these useful!

Those are neat. How did you do that?

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

Never be afraid to try something new.

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.

Ink wish list: Aurora black, Noodler's Legal Lapis, Noodler's Violet Vote, Noodler's black, Noodler's Ottoman Azure, Waterman Florida Blue, and Waterman Blue Black, PR American Blue. PM me if you want to trade/sell these ink.

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.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
