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 made from the highest quality materials with multiple welds for years of use. Register pins are available in a wide variety of diameters, heights and sizes to meet any requirement. Plastic pins are new and available in the two most common diameters requested of 1/4" and 9/32".
