Registration Boards eliminate having to carve Kento (registration marks) into every block.

Carve kento marks into the backwards "L" or use tape to make temporary registration marks. Place the inked block firmly into the corner and against the long side of the "L." Use the marks to accurately position the printing paper on the block. Click here for complete instructions.

Available with corner of the "L" on the left or right side. Having the "L" on the right is traditional and most right-handed people feel more comfortable using their right hand to place the paper into the mark on the right, but it is a personal choice.

The inner edges of the "L" are beveled to keep ink from transferring from the block to the "L". The "L" is made from 3/8" plywood and tapers to around 3/16" so you can put 3/8" blocks into the corner without their edges touching the "L". The base is made from 3/8" thick plywood.

The Registration Board is made to work with blocks that are 3/8" high. If the block you are using is lower than the "L", use mat board or paper to shim it up so it is even with the top of the "L." If the block is higher than the "L", add mat board or paper to the "L" so the "L" and the block are even in height.

Sizes

The wood strips used to form the "L" are 2" wide. That means that on a 13" x 17" Registration Board, the open space that the carved block fits into is 11" x 15".

If you would like a different size Registration Board, we will be happy to make it for you. Keep in mind that if we use the standard 2" wide wood for the "L," the opening is 2" less than the size of the board. We can make a narrower or wider "L," or change the height of the "L" from 3/8" to 1/4". Please allow one week for us to make custom Registration Boards.
