Dot grid paper took off as the go-to layout for bullet journaling because it splits the difference between blank paper and ruled paper: the dots give you just enough structure to keep handwriting level, draw straight-ish lines, and lay out boxes and trackers, without the page feeling boxed-in or overtly "graph paper." Sheetful generates the dot lattice at whatever spacing you choose, in real millimeters, so it lines up consistently across every page you print.
The standard bullet journal spacing is 5mm, which is what most dotted notebooks on the market use — set that here if you want printed pages that match a notebook you already own. Wider spacing (7–8mm) leaves more open room for handwriting; tighter spacing suits detailed sketching or precise layout work. Choose US Letter or A4, adjust dot size via the line weight control, and pick an ink color that's visible but doesn't compete with what you write over it.
5mm is the standard spacing used by most dotted notebooks (including the original Bullet Journal notebooks). Sheetful opens on 5mm by default for this reason, but you can set anywhere from 1.5mm to 20mm.
Graph paper has full grid lines, which is better for precise technical drawing but can look busy for handwriting or journaling. Dot grid keeps the same alignment points without the connecting lines, so pages read as closer to blank while still guiding straight lines and consistent spacing.
Yes — measure the spacing between dots in your notebook with a ruler (most are 5mm or 7mm) and enter that exact value in the spacing field.
The default "Soft gray" and "Quad blue" ink options are sized to be visible without competing with pen or pencil. If you want them more subtle, Fine line weight makes the dots smaller.
