Abstract: A method and electrostatographic printer for forming a multi-color image on a web-fed receptor material. The method includes receiving a toner image on a first toner image-collecting device in a first color unit; transferring the toner image images on the first image-collecting device at a single transfer point to the final toner image-collecting device in a final colour unit; and transferring the toner image or images collected on the final toner-image collecting device in the array of at least two image-collecting devices directly or indirectly to the receptor material at a single transfer point at one side of the receptor element using a transfer device such that the collected toner image transferred from the final toner image-collecting device using the transfer device contain the individual images from all image-forming stations in the multiple colour units, wherein at least one of the image-collecting devices is a seamless belt.
