Printing press with charging device

A printing press comprising at least one circulatingly movable support element, which includes a circulatingly movable contact surface intended for contact with a printing substrate, and the printing press further comprising at least one first print head configured as an ink jet print head, whose at least one ejection opening is arranged so as to be directed at the at least one support element, and the printing press comprising at least one first charging device, and the at least one first charging device comprising at least one charging electrode, which is arranged so as to be directed at the contact surface, and the at least one first charging device comprising at least one counter-electrode, and the contact surface being at least partially arranged between the at least one charging electrode and the at least one counter-electrode of the at least one first charging device, characterized in that a smallest distance between the at least one charging electrode of the first charging device and the contact surface is greater than a smallest distance between an ejection opening of the at least one first print head and the contact surface, and that the smallest distance between the at least one charging electrode of the first charging device and the contact surface is at least 50 mm.
