Can anyone tell me why I am having so much trouble re-registering my paper
negs for gum prints? I can't understand it. I've preshrunk as I normally did
for analog negs. I register before coating on a light table, and very
securely tape the negative into place. I simply don't understand it. It
isn't that my registrations are off by a hair- they can be 3mm off or more!
My method is such: in creating a digital neg, I make four fairly big plus
marks that are placed outside the image area and in the middle. Like..

(the interior is the image, the horizontal and vertical lines are the print
edges.) This will look like a garbled mess to those of you who aren't using
fix width fonts)
That way I am trying to align from the center.
What could be happening?
Thanks,
Adam
