Work week planner, five days

Monday to Friday only, which gives each day noticeably more room than a seven-day sheet on the same page.

Five days means bigger blocks

The page height is fixed, so dropping Saturday and Sunday hands their space to the weekdays. Each block grows by roughly forty percent, which at this ruling is several more writing lines per day. If your working week genuinely is five days and you plan the weekend separately or not at all, this is simply a better use of the same sheet.

Where it suits and where it does not

It suits office work, teaching timetables, client scheduling and anything where the week has a hard boundary at Friday. It suits shift work badly, since a rotating pattern does not respect the weekday and weekend distinction at all. For shift patterns, use the seven-day sheet and write the dates in, since the blocks are identical and nothing assumes what any given day is for.

Undated, so it survives holidays

A five-day printed planner that assumes every week is a full working week becomes wrong the moment there is a public holiday or you take a day off. Because this is undated, you write the dates in and simply skip or reuse a block. That flexibility is worth more in practice than any pre-printed layout, and it is why the header band is a blank line rather than a calendar.

Printing it accurately

This only measures correctly if your printer doesn't rescale the page. In the print dialog set Scale: 100%, not "Fit to page" or "Shrink oversized pages". If you're not sure it worked, print the calibration page, measure the ruler on it with a real ruler, and it will tell you exactly what your printer is doing to the page.
