| 1. A printing platform, comprising:
two or more marking modules offset perpendicular to a process direction to create an aggregate imageable area that is wider
than an imageable area of any of the individual marking modules,
wherein each of said marking modules comprises a developer that facilitates transferring charged toner particles to an exposed
surface of a photoreceptor, and
wherein process-direction registration of images marked by the two or more marking modules is achieved mechanically by moving
one or more of the marking modules or digitally by adjusting the timing of the rendering of the respective portions of an
incoming image between the at least two marking modules.
