Potential DIY registration system

(1/4) > >>

Shanarchy:
Thinking out loud.

It seems the most important part of the registration system is to make the bump stops used during film alignment match identical to the ones on you press jig.

So why not eliminate that and make it the exact part used for both.

Action Engineering sells a 25x36 pallet for $300 (you can do a smaller one for a little less for manual use).

Drill and mount your 3 bump stops. You should be able to lay this out so they don't interfere with your press clamps. You can have your local machine shop do this if you're not confident in your abilities. You can even add a couple of spring tabs for securing/locking in the frame.

Using a thin permanent marker and a t square draw your layout template on. Make sure it is parallel to how your bump stops got mounted.

Use the two sided tape rub method to avoid the need for carrier sheets.

This would go in your pre-registration area when making screens, then it would mount on press for screen set up.

Am I missing something? or is this potentially a $500 pre-reg unit?

Someone build this and tell me if it works.

I think that would work great for a small 1-3 person shop, nice and simple.

I'll blow your mind if I get some free time.  I built mine for about $125 bucks.  Most 4-5 color jobs I don't touch a micro...

Binkspot:
You mean something like this.

Shanarchy:
Brian, is yours one piece or two separate pieces (pallet and pre-reg board)?
