A sheet advancement control system for use in printers such as inkjet printers includes a light source for directing a beam of light onto a localized area of a sheet, a photosensitive detector for providing output signals that vary according to microscopic patterns that are illuminated within the sheet by the directed light, a correlator for determining cross-correlations between pairs of detected patterns as the sheet is advanced in a printer and for computing displacements between matching patterns to, thereby, detect the displacement of a sheet within the printer.
