Stainless Register Pins
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 color 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. 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 base 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, which has a round button which is 1/4" (6.35mm) diameter, with the button height being .085" (2.16mm) high. Other diameters and heights are also available. To help you with your selection I have packages available on the Packages webpage with a combination of both stainless and plastic 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.
