PawClaws Gauge Pins

Paw-Claws™ letterpress registration gauge pins are designed for ease of use and quick, accurate registration.

The elegant design makes inserting them into tympan paper simple and fast, providing accurate alignment for your paper substrate. 

​To use Paw-Claws simply use a razor to cut a 1” diagonal slice in your

tympan starting about 1/8” down from the edge of your paper. Insert the lower “spoon” into the slice in the tympan and align the lead edge of the Paw-Claw with the intended edge of the paper to be printed. The spring action and pointed teeth hold the Paw-Claws in place on the tympan. Tapping them in place will help to maintain positioning throughout a press run. Also, taping them in place is suggested.

​Packaged as two sets of 3, one set has a 1/8″ tongue, and one set has a 3/16″ tongue.

Paw-Claws will not interfere with wood furniture, reglets, metal leading, or spacing material. 

NOTE” The Pawclaws are designed for use with standard/traditional Formes and are bot suitable for use with The Chase base and polymer plates unless used outsie of the base area.
