We seldom think about it, but there are differences in types of writing paper. Once upon a time, we wrote on papyrus or vellum. Now we use pulp to make the recyclable paper we’re all familiar with. We primarily utilize one of two standard paper types, either college-ruled or wide-ruled. “Ruled” simply means how far apart the lines are on the page. Wide-ruled paper generally offers 27 lines per page, while college-ruled paper has narrower lines, resulting in 33 lines per page.
