{"product_id":"linocut-registration-jig","title":"Linocut Registration Jig","description":"\u003cp\u003eRegistration is one of those things that sounds simple until it isn't. A slightly shifted block, a paper that moved just a hair, and suddenly your second color is off and the whole edition feels like a mess. I built this jig because I got tired of that frustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a small tool with a straightforward job: keep your block in the same spot, keep your paper landing in the same spot, and let you focus on the actual printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it works:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace your unmounted lino block in the corner of the jig. Align your paper edge to a grid line and mark it with a small piece of painter's tape. That's your registration point. Every sheet after that hits the same spot, consistently, without fussing with pins or rebuilding a setup from scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003e1\/8\" laser-cut acrylic grid\u003c\/em\u003e gives you fine control over placement.
