A control system for a can decorator structured to apply images to cans includes a can inspection system structured to capture images of a can, a controller structured to receive the captured images and to analyze the captured images to determine a quality of the image applied to the can based on a comparison of the captured images and a reference image, and an adjustment assembly structured to adjust a circumferential or translational position of a plate cylinder attached to a plate cylinder shaft end of a plate cylinder shaft, the adjustment assembly including at least one stepper motor, wherein operation of the at least one stepper motor causes the circumferential or translational adjustment.
