This registration board is constructed entirely of foam-board (construction time, 2 minutes). The kento guides are pieces of foam-board outlined in black, glued to the rest of the armature. Margins can this way be whatever you wish.	The block is now in place against the registration board. Under the block I have simply placed a piece of cardboard to avoid marking the press bed (I carved both sides of this block).

When constructing a board in this way, you can ink the block first, then place the registration board against the block. This avoids having to wipe your margins when the roller goes a little crazy. The result is clean margins of any size you wish, regardless of the size of the block.
Also, keep the entire construction about the same height as the block. The paper guide strips are glued to the top and therefore will end up a little higher than the block. This will allow for clean placement of the paper every time, resulting in perfect registration.
 

The paper is placed against the corner guides first as before, then allowed to lay along the long edge guide. Again, this is a two-hand operation usually, but one of my hands had to be holding the camera!	The final assembly ready for printing. I usually place a "tympan" on top of the whole thing to preseve my press roller, obtain an even impression, and keep the paper from tearing.

One last picture!
oohhh!
