In one embodiment, a method of measuring color-to-color registration includes: a) marking test pattern images on an image receiving member using a reference color separation station and a first color separation station over a process direction span in relation to selected target media and a cyclic characteristic of a multicolor marking platform, b) detecting each test pattern image, c) determining a registration measurement associated with the first color separation in relation to the reference color separation for each test pattern image, and d) determining a repeatable registration error pattern associated with the first color separation and the selected target media in relation to the cyclic characteristic based at least in part on the registration measurements determined in c). In one embodiment, the multicolor marking platform includes a marking engine, a controller, an image receiving member, a sensor, color registration measurement logic, and repeatable registration error determining logic.
