Print registration system for can decorator

A print registration assembly for a can decorator, the print registration assembly comprising:

• an axial registration drive adapted for registering a plate cylinder of a plate cylinder shaft in an axial orientation;
• an axial registration slider that is adapted for movement by the axial registration drive;
• the axial registration slider being mechanically coupled to a plate cylinder of the can decorator via an axial sleeve such that movement of the axial registration slider causes axial movement of the axial sleeve which is associated with axial registration of the plate cylinder;
• a circumferential registration drive adapted for registering the plate cylinder in a circumferential orientation;
• and
• a circumferential registration slider that is adapted for movement by the circumferential registration drive;
• the circumferential registration slider being mechanically coupled to the plate cylinder such that movement of the circumferential registration slider causes circumferential movement of the axial sleeve and is associated with circumferential registration of the plate cylinder.
