Construct a clear acetate sheet with register marks made through the
computer or by drawing with a permanent ink marker used for lith neg retouching.
Make the sheet at least one inch larger than the largest negative
dimension all round the register must lie in this inch border.
Place your waxed neg face up, in the centre of the sheet, and then
attach to the acetate piggyback fashion with the use of magic tape on
each corner.
Continue your printmaking as normal or adopt a punch register system
employing the same initial procedure.
hope this helps
Pete
