Stainless Register Pins
Ternes Burton™ metal register pins are made with precision machined buttons spot welded to a stainless steel base. They are commonly used to align layers of paper while printmaking using linoleum or wood blocks. Registration pins enable tight registration on complicated multi color projects. Examples of completed projects which have been sent to me are displayed throughout my website. Ternes register pins work with either my stripping tabs, or can be inserted directly through the holes made by a punch. The stainless register pin bases are .013" thick, the sturdiest and longest lasting available. 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 diameter and height of the button is hand stenciled onto the base for identification and re-ordering. All of this hand work takes a lot of extra time, but I feel the final product is worth the extra time and cost. My trademarked base shape is unique to my company 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 down you have adhesion on either side as well as the center. This helps prevent movement. The most common register pin I sell is the 1/4" x .085" R. These pins have a round button which is 1/4" (6.35mm) diamter, with a button height of .085" (2.16mm) high. To help you with your selections I have packages available on the Packages webpage with a combination of stainless register pins and stripping tabs. Videos and blogs showing some usages are available on the Home page. Having your project in register is important no matter how many colors you are working with. My register pins are meant to help you achieve the results you want. I look forward to providing you with the best registration pin on the market.
