To write evenly on white sheets, just place a special stencil under the bottom - a zebra. This is a sheet of A4 paper with bold horizontal lines printed on it. You can buy a zebra in a store, or you can print it yourself. You can download this stencil for free at the end of the article.

Why do we need a zebra

When an essay, term paper or dissertation is written on A4 sheets with or without frames, it is very difficult to maintain the same indentation, and even more so to write clearly horizontally by hand. At one time, pupils and students, when there was no time to draw the zebra themselves, measured out the same distance between the lines, laid an even stack of sheets, and punched each line with a needle. Then, a little faster than marking, barely visible lines were drawn under the ruler with a simple pencil. Then I also had to erase the pencil lines after writing the work.

But the best thing was to draw, with a black pen or felt-tip pen, a special stencil called a zebra, and write under it. But a hand-drawn zebra is not always accurate; such a stencil is best printed on thick paper. This is exactly what we suggest you download.

For those who write on sheets with frames, which is most often the case, you need to print the zebra pattern without margins, since it is only important for you to maintain the distance between the lines, and the frame itself on the sheet will tell you whether you need a margin on one side or another. The characteristics of this zebra are identical to the previous one.
