Register Pins and Stripping Tabs – Ternes Burton Co

R75.00R599.00

Ternes Burton™ metal register pins are made with precision machined buttons spot welded to a stainless steel base. Register pins are used to keep you in register when printmaking using linoleum or wood blocks. Ternes registration pins enable tight registration on complicated multi colour projects. Each register pin is welded multiple times and is meant for long term repeated use. Both the top of the button and the bottom of the bases are hand polished to prevent any scratching of your work. The trademarked base shape is unique to Ternes Burton co. and is designed with a narrow forward area to hold the button centered to prevent tilt, while the wide base has a hole in it so that as you tape the pin base down you have adhesion on either side as well as the center. This helps prevent movement.

Ternes Burton™ stripping tabs are sturdy pieces of .0075″ thick mylar. Stripping tabs are the bridge between your paper and the register pin button. One side of the stripping tab is taped to the edge of your paper, while the round 1/4″ (6.3mm) hole is attached to the 1/4″ round button of the register pin which has been taped to your work surface. Two or three tabs are usually used with each piece of paper.

Having your project in register is important no matter how many colours you are working with, and these register pins are meant to help you achieve the perfect results.  Ternes Burton Register pins are the best registration pins on the market.

Description

From the manufacturer:

“Ternes Burton™ is known worldwide for making quality register pins and stripping tabs. My stainless steel register pins are made one at a time and are hand stenciled, hand welded, hand polished- with attention paid to both quality and detail. I sell to printmakers, artists, art schools, universities, as well as commercial printing companies and silk screening companies. Ternes Burton is the original company making register pins and is known for making the best available. Common uses for my register pins and stripping tabs are for relief printing using linoleum and wood block as well as screen printing.

Relief printers working in linoleum and wood carve away parts of their material, ink the remaining surface and print a color, then carve away more material, print another color onto the same piece of paper, and so on. Complicated prints can have more than two dozen colors and steps. Registration is critical. If you don’t have each color exactly in register to the previous ones you cannot go back. Your material is already carved away. If your work is out of register your time and materials are wasted. Each time a color is added your paper must be in exactly the same place to your base material. My register pins and stripping tabs are made to help you with this.

The stainless pins are a handcrafted item and priced accordingly. “
