Step 5How Is This Supposed to Line Up?
So, registration is one of the things I figured out on the fly. Like I said earlier, this works, but there've got to be better ways to do it. I'll break this up into a few steps. The first two are illustrated in the photos below.
One thing you'll need to do beforehand is take a sheet of corkboard, center it on the press bed, and use something (I used the little sticky felts for the bottom of furniture legs) to line the edges, so that it can be placed in the same position on the bed easily and reliably.
1. Take a piece of the paper on which you'll be printing, apply double sided tape to one side, and carefully line it up on top of your plate (or type, or whatever).
2. Carefully, carefully, so as not to shift the placement on the paper on the plate, place one of the sheets of corkboard on top of the paper & plate.

could you just attach the corkboard to the platen? some super 77, or even awesome double stick tape?
