Ternes Burton™ is a one person company located in Minnesota USA. I am 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, and hand polished. The stainless pins are being discontinued later this year, currently there is a six pin limit per person not per order. I’d like as many artists as possible to be able to purchase them.

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 - UK, EU, Australia New Zealand the best choice is either the Package 3, 4, 5 or 6. International postage is the same for any of the Packages and is currently $22.60 to AU or NZ and $17 to Canada, so make the smart choice and go with either the Packages 3-6, NOT the Package 1 or 2. You’ll have extra pins and tabs for a few dollars more and pay the same postage. Australia and New Zealand customers do not order more than 500 tabs total s the postage rate will be almost double.
