Abstract: An image registration device for an image production system is disclosed which adjusts any axial image misregistration in situ and quasi instantaneously. This image registration device contains, in operation, a rotating image carrying element and a rotating image receiving element in rolling contact with each other and each having a flange co-axially mounted on their respective shafts. The image registration device includes a further rotating element in rolling contact with the flanges of the rotating elements to ensure that the image carrying element axially follows the image receiving element or vice versa to establish axial image registration.
