Based on a previous recommendation, I was able to find http://www.incompetech.com/beta/plainGraphPaper/ to set up hex graph paper layouts and test sizes, etc. The hex graph paper generator lays them out as expected - flat edge to flat edge. As someone mentioned in another thread, this makes cutting out hexes quite difficult.
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a particular request. I need a .pdf or other image file set up to print on an 8.5" x 11" sheet, consisting of hexes laid out point to point. The hexes I need are ~1.2" leg length and ~2" inside diameter from flat edge to flat edge. If I could be insanely picky, I would ask for a small space between rows of hexes.
The result when cutting out the hexes will be a small amount of waste, but also a nice straight line along both sides of a row of hexes to cut with an exacto knife. This should make my life much easier in the coming weeks.
I really appreciate your help!
Below is a visual example of what I am talking about. Prepare to laugh out loud, however, as my paint skills are terrible and I am in a hurry!

LAUGH!
Those are perfect!
I think the middle one will work out very nicely. The gap between rows is just to allow some scrap between cuts so I can keep my edges clean.
Thank you so much for putting together exactly what I needed! This forum is the best!
