1. A printing system comprising: a. an intermediate transfer member of non-constant length; b. an image forming station configured to deposit ink on a surface of the intermediate transfer member while the intermediate transfer member moves so as to form ink images on the surface of the intermediate transfer member; c. a transfer station configured to transfer the ink images from the surface of the moving intermediate transfer member to a substrate passing in between the transfer member and an impression cylinder during a period of engagement; and d. electronic circuitry configured to regulate a length of the intermediate transfer member to a set-point length, wherein the set-point length equals an integral multiple of a circumference of the impression cylinder.
