Finally finished my backlit registration board!
« on: January 28, 2014, 03:15:17 PM »
Kinda self-explanatory other than the black bungee that holds the frame against the stops.  I have a registration pallet similar to M&R that goes on the press for quick setups. I attached the board to my screen room with hinges and ran the switch wiring inside. Ugly, but works!

Question, is that square for a left chest print, if so it looks to be on the wrong side, just looking at it are you taping your screens from the back?....other than that nice setup.

Nice, I've used a similar setup now for six years.  Works great.

This is mine.  Lets me do exposure setup on press and then doubles for easy lineup registration to print. 

3 pins to bump the screens against for each.

Platen was made from MDF and is about 1/2 inch smaller than MZX frames so the bottom of the roller is on the platen and hang outside the platen just enough to bump the pin on the right side.  Frame hangs just inside at my end when slid into the the clamp area (open to tape for exposure and closed to lock in for printing).

Dammit Darryl why you gotta point out the flaws haha.

Yeah that grid was the same one I used on my first board the registers from the front. I have to remind myself to NOT tape a left chest over the square.
