Here is my Reggie System Pic's

The pallet is an old pallet I had left over from my old Multi printer, I bought some parts from Anatol to get this pallet to bolt on and lock in and the pc that glide the screen in place are wedges use to lock in the arms on the anatol side clamp ( bought 3 of those...I might have 20 dollars in the unit and if you count the film locator which is made from plexiglass and wood for now $45.00 dollars max.  if you see anything that I might have miss or can improve it let me know.

It really is that simple.  If your stop blocks on your FPU match the pallet jig perfectly then you'll get near perfect to perfect results on press.

thanks, I'm going to change the wood on my FPU to metal so I know it is solid and square even though the wood is working pretty good.

See this is what i have a hard time figuring out!

How do we build stop blocks that match on a pre press set up, as well as on press/!

When I do mine it will be with a CNC machine

I set up a six color job I printed last week before I built this today ( had to wait on parts) and since the film were pretty much in the same place on all the screens I set it as fast I could spend the table to the next head and only had two color off by a little, the key now is to line all my film up correct on my FPU better and I think I'm set.

Looks great Darryl!

This might start an argument, but as long as BOTH sets of stop blocks are rigid, SQUARE, and touch the frame around the same point along the frame, that's all you need. These 3 point registration jigs rely on ALL the frames in the job being square.

That's another advantage of  "X" roller frames and the Tri-Loc. The nubs on the corners are all that touch. It's all relative.

Exactly!

Looks good Darryl! Any reg system is better than not one at all.

I've posted mine before and you guys are probably tired of seeing it, but it's pretty basic and works like a charm.  Posting again in case anyone has not seen it and is interested in making one.

I do make my own platens out of MDF and skin with Formica so the basic start (manual press) is nothing more than an over size platen with a blank film taped down with registrations as a master guide. 

Line up image films on top, match to the registrations and tape (ever so little) just to keep film from moving.  Add 2 small pieces of double sided tape, slide a screen into the 3 points, press down and lift up.  Take to exposure unit. 

Since everything is lined up relative to the original blank registration film taped to the platen, even differences in screen sizes make no difference.  I could mix screen sizes as long as the image falls inside the frame. 

For press setup, take the screens back to the same platen, slide the screens into the same 3 points and clamp down each screen in the print.  It's a manual press, but the registrations might need just a bump, but likely not.
