Now that I have registered it and marked it up to each of my three points, I'm ready to print it again and hope for the best. Please don't get discouraged if at first it doesn't work out. This is one of the more difficult elements to do is to register in your print. It becomes particularly important when you're doing multi-color printmaking, when you're doing reduction printmaking and it makes it a lot more fun and interesting when you can add layers of color and do so exactly. So we're going to test this; see how our registration marks worked out for us. And you can see it's pretty much exactly on top of the print where it was before. You still see the grain of the wood in the same places. There is no overlap of color in the text, so we did a pretty good job of registering that block of wood.
