"Now that I have four corners laid out in my jig, I can remove my block of wood and fairly easily place it back into my jig. And I can test it to make sure that it's not going to move around too much. This means that I can put my block of wood in exactly the same place every time I ink and want to print. So now that I have done that, I'm also going to want to mark my paper, and this particularly becomes important if you're printing several times, with either the same block of wood or in separate blocks of wood. And you want to make sure that your registration marks line up completely. I'm going to add another layer of ink, so that we can test this process. Still got some ink from earlier, so I'm just going to quickly put on a layer. (Inks wood). A lot of ink. OK? And now I'm ready to place my piece of paper, matching it up to the lines that I have, onto my registration jig."
