I never tried, but I don't think this would work. AIUI, it has a minimum
and a maximum spacing for the lines.
The white noise sheet "works" because some the black-white-black
transitions come with the right spacing, no matter what that spacing is (it
has to be the right order of magnitude, and it doesn't work as well as the
real thing). Crumpled tin-foil has been reported to work, too.

I have tried to print my own mousepad, but the mouse only works in
the y direction on it.
there were 2 versions of that mousepad, and the symptom of using the
wrong one was that the mouse would only move in one direction.
Out of curiosity, would it work if you printed this one-directional
grid on a translucent plastic and overlaid it on top of white paper
sheet? If yes, then would it work if you printed two such translucent
plastic grids and ovelaid them one on the other turned 90 degrees and
that on white paper?
