Abstract
A method and apparatus for forming an image that is larger than the photoprinting plate by on-the-go formation of web alignment holes in a resist covered web and using the on-the-go web alignment holes to position the photoprinting plates so that a sequence of images can be formed from a single photoprinting plate with the sequence of images laterally positioned so that the images are in lateral registration so that the sequential formed images can appear as a single continuous image.
