A device for printing a web moving in a direction (Y), wherein ink jets print on the web a printing width across its direction (Y) of advancement while traversing a printing station. The printing station includes one or more printer heads that produce ink jets over a footprint width which is narrower than the intended printing width over the web. One or more shaping elements bestow on the web traversing the printing station a V-shape so that the web is at least locally oriented oblique to the linear array of nozzles that project the ink. The ink from the printer head(s) is thus printed over the intended printing width of the web.
