This Print Was Meant for Micro-Registration: We’re Trying it Without!

Jamie is trying to register a multi-color screen print design meant for micro-registration on a press without micro-registration. Ever tried it? It’s not easy. Presses without micro-registration can print multi-color designs with a little patience (and a rubber mallet).
Print guru Colin registered a multi-color print on this same press a couple of years ago. With his expertise, it looked easy! Jamie wanted to try it out and see just how difficult registering a complicated design would be on a press without XY micros.

Registering challenging prints without micros takes a bit of patience, but can be done! If you're doing it a lot, micros will save your bacon and sanity. To learn more about micro-registration, check out this link: scrnprntl.ink/WhatareMicros

I have that same press. One trick I use to adjust off contact and tilt, as well as when I register multiple screens, is that I have a large piece of picture frame glass (it had been previously used for keeping film flat while burning screens) on the platen. When I loosen the bolts for off contact and tilt, I have a screen in the press and let it rest flat on the glass and then tighten the bolts. Likewise, I put my film on the platen, for registration, and then the glass on top. It makes it a little easier to move the screen around and see the registration marks. Hope this is helpful.

Great tip! Streamlining those processes is important!

I can feel the frustration watching this. It literally takes me1-2 hours to register.

"Dude, this just isn't lining up." Every screenprinter has been there. Sometimes, for whatever reason, one color just doesn't want to cooperate, and it can take you forever to get it set right.

@@henrychavez5950 Do you have a stop bolt installed above the print arm? You should have received hardware, a bolt covered in rubber, that goes right above the arm that stops it from going all the way up.

If you add micros to starter presses, they wouldn't really be starter presses anymore, you know? Many printers love them for live printing and more easily registerable multicolor prints. They're a great starter press at a great price
