David Goetter’s Tyler Ruler Helps Align Prints for Mounting
Graphics-finishing expert David Goetter has invented a new alignment tool to simplify the challenge of aligning large-format prints for mounting. The device, called the Tyler Ruler, provides a simple solution to an age-old problem and helps you cope with image skewing, image elongation, and out-of-square prints and boards. In a video on his website, Goetter demonstrates the three steps involved in using the Tyler Ruler:

Slide the rule Tyler Ruler up to your mounting material until the built-in edge finder automatically stops at zero. Slip the print underneath the Tyler Ruler and into the patented pass-through area which accommodates the extra media that is typically found around large-format prints or from the lamination process. Align to one of three selectable registration marks.

According to Goetter, the Tyler Ruler eliminates the need to use a light table during alignment as well as the need to pre-trim prints to be mounted. You can print your images with a bleed and use the 1/8-in. or 1/4-in. overhang registration marks to see exactly where to place your print.

As Goetter puts it: “The Tyler Ruler is like having X-Ray vision to see the edge of your mounting material before it’s too late.” He says photographers who float-mount their images have found that the Tyler Ruler is easier to use and more accurate than a “T” ruler because it lays flat. Goetter is selling the ruler for $39. Visit his website for details on how to order.
