A single pass printer, having a printing width (PW) is provided for printing a toner image on a substrate, the substrate having a width (WS) and a length (LS), wherein, i) a number n, equal to or larger than 2, of printing engines, each containing a toner transferring element with a longitudinal axis (width (WPE)) smaller than the printing width (PW) are present, and at least two of the n printing engines, each containing a toner transferring element with a longitudinal axis in the direction of width (WPE), are located so that the longitudinal axis do not coincide. Preferably the printing engines are electro(stato)graphic engines, especially Direct Electrostatic Printing (DEP) engines or electrophotographic engines.
