Abstract

In one example of the disclosure, a first print engine is to print a first image in a first area of a web substrate, and is to leave blank a second area of the web substrate. The printed first image includes a set of fiducials 1-n. For each of fiducials 1-n, a fiducial position error is determined based upon a comparison of the detected position and a predicted position for a subject fiducial. A substrate advancement error is calculated based upon an average of the determined fiducial position errors. An insertion point is determined based upon the substrate advancement error. The insertion point is a point at which a second print engine in-line with the first print engine is to begin printing a second image in the second area.
