Register Pins and Stripping Tabs

Ternes Burton™ is a one person company located in Minnesota USA. I am known worldwide for making quality register pins and stripping tabs.

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. If you don’t have each color exactly in register to the previous ones you cannot go back. Your material is already carved away. Another method is to carve most if not all of your work, then add colors one at a time. Either way if your final result is out of register your time and materials are wasted. Complicated prints can have more than two dozen colors and steps. Registration is critical. Each time a color is added your paper it must be in exactly the same place to your base material. My register pins and stripping tabs are made to help you with this.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING INFORMATION - Holiday rates went into effect 11/1 at the post office. International postage costs are the same for any of the Packages A B or C. Packages to most of the EU as well as Australia and New Zealand currently costs $22.60 when sending up to 500 stripping tab plus pins. Once you go over 500 tabs total the postage almost doubles. The pins however are lightweight so you can add extras and usually not increase the postage.
