Pacific Arc - Ruling Pens
Draw precise ink lines from hairline to bold with adjustable nibs
Adjustable steel nibs let you set line width precisely, turn the screw to widen or narrow the gap between jaws, controlling ink flow from hairline delicacy to bold strokes. This mechanical control makes ruling pens essential for consistent technical lines, decorative borders, and calligraphic flourishes where uniform width matters more than the organic variation of traditional pens.
Pacific Arc machines these nibs from quality steel that holds ink in the reservoir between jaws, releasing it steadily as you draw. The included handle provides comfortable grip for freehand work, while removable nibs fit any break-leg compass for perfect circles and arcs. Load with India ink, walnut ink, or fluid acrylics, the adjustable gap accommodates various viscosities without clogging.
Technical illustrators appreciate the predictable line quality for ruled borders and geometric elements. Calligraphers use them for decorative work requiring uniform strokes. The ability to switch between handle and compass extends functionality beyond basic ruling into complex geometric compositions and ornamental designs.
