Patent ID: 7966935

Claim:
A method for registering a rotary press for a printing process wherein in which “n” inking systems (Fn) each produce monochrome printed images and print one on top of the other thereby producing n-colored printed images, the method comprising recording the monochrome printed images of a printed material with at least one sensor station (S), recording information on rotary movements of printing plate cylinders (Dn), and using the monochrome printed images and the information to produce correction signals, which actuate one or more actuators of the printing plate cylinders until a deviation of the monochrome printed images of the respective inking systems from a desired position on the material to be printed lies within a defined range of tolerance values, including, providing only one of the printing plate cylinders at a time in a printing position, using the at least one sensor station to record the monochrome printed images, and obtaining the correction signals for the one or more actuators of the printing plate cylinder based on the monochrome printed image produced by the respective printing plate cylinder and the information on the rotary movements of at least one of the printing plate cylinders.
