Abstract
A method and apparatus for applying an image to a printing plate while maintaining registration between the image and a reference edge of the printing plate include mounting the printing plate on a plate making machine and then determining the locations of two or more points on the reference edge. The locations of the two or more points are used to determine a transformation which is applied to image data to yield transformed image data. The transformed image data is used to image the printing plate.
