Abstract:
A method for setting register on a multicolor printing machine (1) having color printing units (6, 6â€², 6â€³, 6â€²â€³) assigned to various printing inks and having image cylinders (2, 2â€², . . . ), equipment (3, 3â€², . . . ) for producing images, in particular electrostatic latent images, on the image cylinders (2, 2â€², . . . ), a carrier (4) for printing substrates (15) and image transfer points (5, 5â€², 5â€³, 5â€²â€³) for the transfer of the color separations (7, 7â€², . . . ) from the color printing units (6, 6â€², 6â€³, 6â€³) to the printing substrates (15), comprising: during production of a print from an electrostatic latent image, an allocation of the image productions (11, 11â€², . . . ) on the image cylinders (2, 2â€², . . . ) to the printing substrates (15) being carried out in order to achieve coincidence of register of the color separations (7, 7â€², . . . ) in the print, wherein a time-independent allocation of the positions of the image productions (11, 11â€², . . . ) on the image cylinders (2, 2â€², . . . ) to the printing substrates (15) is carried out for at least one defined area (10, 10â€², 10â€³, . . . , 10n) of all the color separations (7, 7â€², . . . ).
