1. A method for correcting color registration errors while printing a print job on a print media using a color printer, the print job including a plurality of document pages having pixel values for a plurality of color planes, comprising: using the color printer to print a first subset of the document pages using the color printer; measuring color registration errors for the printed first subset of document pages; analyzing the measured color registration errors to determine a periodic pattern of color registration errors having a repeat period; determining a repeating pattern of color registration correction values corresponding to the periodic pattern of color registration errors, wherein the color registration correction values specify image plane corrections for at least one of the color planes; and using the color printer to print a second subset of the document pages using the determined repeating pattern of color registration correction values.
