1. A method for reducing image burn-in artifacts in an electrophotographic printing system, comprising:
receiving a print job including image data for a set of pages to be printed with the electrophotographic printing system;
determining that the image data for a sequence of pages in the print job are similar; and
determining printing data to enable a print engine to print the similar pages using a pattern of lateral translations wherein the image data is laterally translated such that it is printed at a different lateral position on the printed page.
