Abstract

Color registration errors are corrected for print jobs including periodic image content. Pixels values for a set of document pages are analyzed to identify the presence a periodic pattern of ink coverage having a repeat period. A first subset of document pages are printed and the resulting color registration errors are measured and analyzed to determine a periodic pattern of color registration errors. A repeating pattern of color registration correction values are determined corresponding to the periodic pattern of color registration errors. A second subset of the document pages is printed using the determined repeating pattern of color registration correction values.
