Abstract
A print head has a plurality of linearly arranged, spaced apart print elements. The print head is positioned in a printing assembly at an angle to the process path of the print receiving documents. The angle of the print head is preselected whereby the distance between adjacent print elements in the direction orthogonal to the process direction is a preselected print resolution. The print head is then operated whereby the print elements fire multiple times as the document moves the preselected print resolution beneath the print head.
