This is a quick DIY guide to making your own registration device for printmaking. Basic instructions and materials are as follows:
I am using hardboard that is 3mm thick, 405mm wide and 810mm long, I halve this to create top and base boards. I cut a hole the size and shape of the lino that I regularly use in the top board and sandwich the two together with wood glue. I offer two options for registering the paper, using either a hole punch and pins, or registration tabs and tape. These are my preferred methods for creating reduction prints as they are reusable and reliable.
You will need: hardboard, wood saw, measuring tape, pencil, wood glue, sticky tape, ternes burton registration pins, optional ternes burton registration tabs.
