Abstract
A color registration method, system, and computer program product generally includes a plurality of imaging stations and one or more MOB (Marks-On Belt) sensors. An indication is initially provided to each imaging station among the imaging stations, which colors among a plurality of colors associated with said color registration system are active. Next, an arbitrary imaging station among the imaging stations can be assigned as a reference color. Thereafter, the arbitrary imaging station can be instructed to write an appropriate color pattern to replace marks associated with any imaging among imaging stations not enabled with the marks with respect to said reference color in order to thereby produce a resulting color ensemble that is detectable by one or more MOB sensors.
