These rulers are marked with centimeter divisions but without numbers, prompting users to understand linear measurement conceptually. Ten 25cm rulers per page are ideal for educational activities.
Ensuring Accuracy When You Print Out a Ruler
To guarantee the accuracy of your print out ruler, it’s crucial to disable any print scaling options in your printer settings. Specifically, look for and disable options like “shrink to fit,” “scale to fit paper,” or similar settings that automatically adjust page size.
Important: Print at 100% scale or “actual size” to avoid distortion and maintain measurement accuracy.
Most browsers and PDF viewers offer print dialogs that include these scaling options. Ensure that your print settings are configured to print at the intended size.
Checking Accuracy
While our rulers are designed for high accuracy, the precision of your printed ruler can depend on your printer. For critical measurements, it’s always a good practice to verify the printed ruler against a known accurate ruler.
A simple check is to measure a standard sheet of paper. US letter size is 8.5 x 11 inches (216 x 279.4 mm), and A4 paper is 210 x 297 mm. If these dimensions measure correctly on your printed ruler, it’s likely to be accurate for other measurements as well.
Versatile Uses for Printable Rulers
Printable rulers are surprisingly versatile tools, useful in numerous situations:
- Education: Ideal for classrooms, teaching measurement concepts, and providing students with readily available tools. Number-free rulers are particularly effective for conceptual learning.
- Crafts and DIY: Perfect for quick measurements in crafting projects, scrapbooking, and home DIY tasks.
- Quick Measurements: Keep a print out ruler handy in your home, office, or workshop for instant measuring needs.
