1. A method of inline die cutting of a substrate, the method comprising:
- providing a substrate having a print image thereon;
detecting a position of the print image and outputting a web position signal;
computing a die correction signal in response to the web position signal and outputting the die correction signal; and
adjusting the position of a die in response to the die correction signal to ensure cutting of the substrate at a predetermined location.
