Westcott - Graphic Art Rulers
Measure layouts with print-specific scales artists actually use daily
The GA-86 packs comprehensive reference data onto an 18-inch opaque ruler, including percentage screens and proofreader's symbols alongside standard calibrations. The GA-96 simplifies to essential measurements on clear 12-inch plastic, maintaining visibility over your work while providing inches, picas, leading gauge, and E-scale. The B-90 adds a beveled inking edge to its pica, inch, and agate scales for technical drawing.
These tools matter when setting consistent leading, calculating column widths, or verifying printed dimensions match your specifications. Clear models let you align measurements without obscuring underlying artwork; opaque versions provide reference charts that eliminate constant software switching. The GA-94 extends precision into sixteenths with a centering pica scale for balanced layout work. Graphic designers working with physical mockups, traditional paste-up, or hybrid workflows gain immediate measurement accuracy without digital intermediaries.
