My first attempt at two colour registration. It's far from perfect, but for a first go, I'm happy. Today's printing was for testing purposes only, so I just used standard office paper.
I only received one rusty old gauge pin with my presses, so I've reproduced an idea I saw on the Adventures in Letterpress blog (originally from Briar Press). It worked a treat, and I didn't have to worry about smashing gauges.
The gauge pins are little folded pieces of cardboard, taped down on the tympan. I started off making them rather large, but I've now reduced them down to about 6mm square.
Poppy is a boutique letterpress studio, lovingly run by a team of 3: Louise, Adrian, and now we have also welcomed Eessu.
Our studio is home to a Chandler & Price 10 x 15, Collie's Paragon 10 x 15, Adana 8 x 5 and Adana 5 x 4.

Hi,
How did you make those mock "gauge pins?" Thanks!
