Abstract
A method for mounting a substrate having a first image printed thereon on a digital printer to be used to print a second image in a desired alignment with the first image. The first image is printed on the substrate at a first location different from a location of the digital printer. A template is mounted on the digital printer, and then, the digital printer is used to print a second image on the template. Thereafter, the substrate is placed on the digital printer with respect to template, and the first image on the substrate is aligned with the second image on the template. Thereafter, the substrate is secured on the digital printer at a location where the first image on the substrate aligns with the one of the second image on the template. Thus, the digital printer can then be used to print the second image on the substrate in alignment with the first image.
