1. A digital printing system, comprising:
an intermediate transfer member (ITM), which is configured to receive a printing fluid so as to form an image;
a continuous target substrate, which is configured to engage with the ITM at an engagement point for receiving the image from the ITM, wherein, at the engagement point, the ITM is configured to move at a first velocity and the continuous target substrate is configured to move at a second velocity;
an electrical motor configured to move one or both of the ITM and the target substrate; and
a processor, which is configured to: (i) receive one or more measurements of an electrical current flowing through the electrical motor, (ii) evaluate a trend in the measured electrical current, and (iii) match the first velocity and the second velocity at the engagement point, based on the evaluated trend.
