Abstract

Method and apparatus for establishing and maintaining pattern registration control in a printing system which prints an image on a relatively moving substrate. Portions of the overall image are electronically generated and printed in row-by-row (e.g. scanned) fashion at respective print stations positioned along the path of the substrate. Registration control is achieved with the aid of index markings spaced along the length of the substrate.
