Thirty rows of dots run down the page here, six millimetres apart, and nothing else is printed on the sheet. A dot marks a coordinate without drawing a line through it, so a table, a sketch and a paragraph can share one page without the rulings fighting each other.
Each dot is drawn as a point in the file itself, not stamped from a bitmap tile, so it keeps a sharp edge no matter how far the page is zoomed. Six millimetres is wider than most dot grids sold as notebooks, room enough for a capital letter to sit inside one cell without touching its neighbours.
There is no month printed anywhere in it, so it does not expire on a date nobody chose.

Questions
How far apart are the dots?
Six millimetres, measured off the finished page.
How many rows to a page?
Thirty.
Are the dots printed as an image?
No, each one is vector geometry, so it stays sharp rather than turning into a grey fleck when the page is enlarged.
Is there a finer spacing?
Yes, the Numbered and Indexed Dotted Notebook, at five millimetres.
Is it dated?
No, so it never expires.
Read your fate, see what is before you, and walk on into futurity.
