Abstract
A printmaking placement tool that permits multiple aligned and layered prints comprising a main body, a plurality of paper guides, and a plurality of bores located in a top surface of the main body that are adapted to receive and engage the plurality of a paper guides. In some embodiments, a bottom surface of each of the plurality of paper guides includes an at least one protrusion adapted to be received in the plurality of bores. In further embodiments, the placement tool comprises a main body having a raised outer edge and no paper guides or corresponding bores are utilized.
Claims16
A placement tool for printmaking, comprising:
- a main body having an L-shape, wherein the main body further comprises a top surface and a bottom surface;
- and
- a plurality of paper guides;
- wherein the top surface of the main body defines a plurality of bores which are adapted to receive the plurality of paper guides;
- wherein the main body further comprises a first component integrally connected to a second component, wherein the first and second components are each in the shape of a rectangle;
- wherein the main body further comprises a pair of internal edges, said pair of internal edges intersecting one another to form a plate receiving corner being adapted to receive a corner of a plate;
- wherein the plate receiving corner is curved and adapted to receive a corner of a plate having a curved edge.
A placement tool for printmaking, comprising:
- a main body having a first component integrally connected to a second component, wherein the first and second components each have a rectangular shape, a top surface, and form an L-shaped main body, wherein the main body further comprises a first internal edge, a second internal edge, and a plurality of external edges formed by said first and second components;
- a first paper guide and a second paper guide, wherein the first paper guide and the second paper guide are each rectangular in shape, wherein the first paper guide and the second paper guide each have a bottom surface, a pair of opposing ends, an internal edge and an external edge, wherein a protrusion is positioned adjacent to each of the opposing ends of the first paper guide and the second paper guide, wherein each of said protrusions extends from the bottom surface of each of the first paper guide and the second paper guide;
- a third paper guide having a first unit integrally connected to a second unit, wherein the first and second units each have a rectangular shape and form an L-shaped third paper guide, wherein the third paper guide further comprises a bottom surface, a pair of internal edges and a plurality of external edges, wherein a first protrusion extends from the bottom surface of the first unit and a second protrusion extends from the bottom surface of the second unit;
- wherein the top surface of the first component of the main body defines a first pair of first paper guide borings adapted to receive the protrusions of the first paper guide, wherein the top surface of the second component of the main body defines a first pair of second paper guide borings adapted to receive the protrusions of the second paper guide, wherein the top surface of the main body defines a first boring adapted to receive the first protrusion of the third paper guide and the top surface of the main body defines a second boring adapted to receive the second protrusion of the third paper guide;
- wherein the first pair of first paper guide borings and the first boring are each positioned the same distance from the first internal edge of the main body, wherein the first pair of second paper guide borings and the second boring are each positioned the same distance from the second internal edge of the main body.
A placement tool for printmaking, comprising:
- a main body having a first component integrally connected to a second component, wherein the first and second components each have a rectangular shape, a top surface, and form an L-shaped main body, wherein the main body further comprises a first internal edge, a second internal edge, and a plurality of external edges formed by said first and second components, wherein the first internal edge and the second internal edge intersect one another to form a plate receiving corner being adapted to receive a corner of a plate;
- a first paper guide and a second paper guide, wherein the first paper guide and the second paper guide are each rectangular in shape, wherein the first paper guide and the second paper guide each have a bottom surface, a pair of opposing ends, an internal edge and an external edge, wherein a peg is positioned adjacent to each of the opposing ends of the first paper guide and the second paper guide, wherein each of said pegs extends from the bottom surface of each of the first paper guide and the second paper guide, wherein a length of the first paper guide is longer than a length of the second paper guide;
- a third paper guide having a first unit integrally connected to a second unit, wherein said first and second units each have a rectangular shape, a bottom surface, and form an L-shaped third paper guide, wherein a length of the first unit is longer than a length of the second unit, wherein the third paper guide further comprises a bottom surface, a pair of internal edges and a plurality of external edges, wherein the pair of internal edges of the third paper guide intersect one another at a ninety degree angle to form a paper receiving corner being adapted to receive a corner of a piece of paper, wherein a first peg extends from the bottom surface of the first unit and a second peg extends from the bottom surface of the second unit, wherein the pair of internal edges of the third paper guide intersect one another at a ninety degree angle to form a paper receiving corner being adapted to receive a corner of a piece of paper;
- wherein the top surface of the first component of the main body defines a first pair of first paper guide borings adapted to receive the pegs of the first paper guide, wherein the top surface of the second component of the main body defines a first pair of second paper guide borings adapted to receive the pegs of the second paper guide, wherein the top surface of the main body defines a first boring adapted to receive the first peg of the third paper guide and the top surface of the main body defines a second boring adapted to receive the second peg of the third paper guide.
