Review: Still a necessary tool in the publishing industry - Yeah, I know. You can click on text with your mouse on the computer and it will tell you the font size and leading. BUT, yes, you still need an E-gauge. I went to a specialized high school for art, got my college degree in advertising art and design, worked as art director for a newspaper, and then as a production director for a book publishing company. Now that you know my resume, let me tell you from experience, an E-gauge is still a valuable tool. I still own the one I bought when I was in 9th grade. I bought this one to use at work. When you are presented with hard copy proofs and need to be certain the comp is following your instructions you whip this thing out and check. It is easy easy to see through and easy to read. It bends easily and doesn't break. It also stops stupid defensive arguments in the middle of a production meeting. It also comes in handy to double check press proofs of text and covers to be certain nothing happened to the file when it was ripped. Or when you are looking at an older book that's already published that you don't have electronic files for and need to know what was what with the type. You can teach an old dog new tricks but sometimes you need to make sure the young pups know the old tricks as well. Get one of these. You'll impress someone in a meeting and it will at some point save you a layout headache.

I was trying to determine whether our local newspaper had shrunk their type size. Indeed they did—from 9 pt to 8 pt type. Much more challenging to read so I went to digital except for Sunday. This scale works well, but I noticed it marks up easily. Think I’ll make a sleeve out of a sheet protector. Most of the black was painted on well. I found one tiny spot on the line scale that didn’t get quite enough ink. This used to be an important tool for me when I was a typesetter back in the 70’s and 80’s. That job is now obsolete. I guess some people still use these or they wouldn’t sell them. ## Frequently Bought Together - Westcott GA-96 Computer Point & Pica Ruler, Transparent Graphic Arts Ruler, 12 Inch - Westcott 5" Proportional Scale, White (PS-69) - Pacific Arc 12 inch Pica Pole Metal Ruler, with Pica, Points, Inches, and Agate Measurements, Stainless Steel Ruler for Drafting --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12845370-westcott-ga-96-computer-point-and-pica-ruler-transparent-graphic](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12845370-westcott-ga-96-computer-point-and-pica-ruler-transparent-graphic) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-16*
