Abstract

A method for printing an image on a substrate by image-wise depositing, toner particles on the substrate, is disclosed, comprising: image-wise depositing dry toner particles on the substrate forming a first band-like portion of the image, conditioning the first band-like portion while keeping the substrate at a temperature equal to or lower than 100.degree. C. and further image-wise depositing toner particles on the substrate so as to form at least one other band-like portion of such image, the at least one other band-like portion of the image being adjacent to the first band-like portion. Preferably the method is used for printing substrates with an area equal to or larger than 0.25 m.sup.2.
