A process for producing a surface covering with an embossed printed surface is described. A substrate () is continuously moved through a production line, and this substrate () is first provided, in a printing equipment (), with a printed pattern and thereafter, in an embossing equipment (), with an embossed pattern, which is registered with the printed pattern. The printing equipment () produces the printed pattern in-line with the production of the embossed pattern. During printing in the printing equipment (), the printed pattern is stretched or compressed, dynamically responsive to indicators of misalignments between the printed pattern and the embossed pattern, so as to correct or prevent the misalignments. A production line for carrying out this process is also proposed. 1. A process for producing a surface covering with an embossed printed surface , wherein a substrate is continuously moved through a production line , and said substrate is first provided with a printed pattern and thereafter with an embossed pattern , which is to be registered with said printed pattern; a printing equipment is used in said production line to produce said printed pattern in-line with the production of said embossed pattern; and', 'during printing in said printing equipment, said printed pattern is stretched or compressed, dynamically responsive to indicators of misalignments between said printed pattern and said embossed pattern, so as to correct or prevent said misalignments., 'characterized in that'}2. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said printing equipment is a digital printing equipment claim 1 , and said printed pattern is stretched or compressed by controlling said digital printing equipment.3. The process as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said printed pattern is stretched claim 2 , respectively compressed claim 2 , by up-scaling claim 2 , respectively down-scaling claim 2 , in real-time at least a part of a digitally recorded image of said pattern to be printed ...
