Abstract:
A method for applying a second repeating pattern onto the surface of a substrate in registration with a first repeating pattern on said substrate, said method comprising advancing a substrate past the moving surface of a first application member having a first pattern in operative association therewith; repeatedly applying said first pattern to one side of said substrate as it is advanced past said first application member; advancing said substrate past the moving surface of a second application member having a second pattern in operative association therewith, said first pattern having a repeat length different than a repeat length of said second pattern; controlling said moving surfaces of said first and second application members at speeds relative to one another so that the length of said substrate is altered whereby the repeat length of the applied first pattern on said substrate corresponds to the repeat length of said second pattern; and repeatedly applying said second pattern to said one side of said substrate in registration with the altered first pattern as it is advanced past said second application member.
