ABSTRACT:
A process for making continuous stretchable substrate products comprising the steps of supplying a web of stretchable substrate having a first surface and a second surface, embossing at least one of the surfaces of the web substrate with an embossed image using at least one embossing roller, printing at least one of the surfaces of the web substrate with a printed image using at least one printing roller; wherein the embossed image and the printed image are disposed onto the substrate relative to each other such that a print/emboss registration is created, measuring the angular location of one embossing roller and translating that location into a digital signal, measuring the angular location of one printing roller and translating that location into a digital signal, manually zeroing the print/emboss registration; and automatically controlling the print and emboss rolls to maintain registration using a control program that comprises the steps of i) comparing the digital signal from the embossing roller and the digital signal from the printing roller, and ii) correcting the angular location and angular speed of either the embossing roller or the printing roller.
