Side registering a sheet during forward movement of the sheet with lateral movement of the sheet causing one side edge of the sheet to engage a registration edge guide, by moving the sheet with skewed rollers providing a sheet engaging and driving nip, wherein the registration edge guide is substantially in one plane but has a small localized arcuate deformation out of that plane adjacent the nip, causing localized arcuate deformation of the sheet, the nip also being spaced from the plane by a corresponding amount, the localized arcuate deformation of the edge guide and the spacing of the nip providing localized bending of a portion of the sheet at the nip for improved side registering. The registration edge guide is preferably substantially linear V-shaped slot engaging one edge of the sheet therein and directing it toward a smooth bottom comprising only a small portion of the slot and lying substantially in the plane except at the localized arcuate deformation.
