Abstract
A method and apparatus for setting registration in a multicolor printing machine for the digital production of color separations, the actions of setting up and combining color separations being controlled when printing substrates of a different grade are fed in, in order to correct registration setting. In the event of a change in the printing substrate grade, the influence of this change on registration can be compensated for optimally before the printing substrate ( ) is fed to the printing process. When the printing substrate grade is changed, the influence of all the properties of the printing substrate ( ) that are relevant to registration is taken into account directly as the change is implemented, by correction values ( ′, . . . ) for the printing substrate ( ) that are available before printing is carried out.
