A swath printer includes a print head that is moveable along a scan direction for applying an ink image to a receiving medium. A transport mechanism is configured to move the receiving medium and the print head with respect to each other in a transport direction that is substantially orthogonal to the scan direction. A first sensor is arranged to detect a position of a first reference pattern present on the receiving medium in a first area thereof, and a second sensor is arranged to detect a position of a second reference pattern present on the receiving medium in a second area thereof. A controller is provided to control the printer on the basis of the detected positions of the reference patterns during use of the printer.
