REGISTERING OF CONTINUOUSLY MOVING LAYERS COMPRISES SENSING REFERENCE MARKS AND MEASURING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO REFERENCE MARK SIGNALS

摘要

A process for controllably registering two continuously moving layers (54, 66) of material is provided. One of the layers (66) of material has a plurality of reference marks (74) representing a plurality of separate and distinct components, and the other of the continuously moving layers (54) has a respective plurality of different components thereon. The process controls the distance between reference marks to a selected distance, and controllably registers each reference mark to a respective component of the continuously moving second layer. An article is provided in which a graphic is controllably registered within a designated area thereof.
