Abstract

Verfahren zum Ansteuern eines nach dem Thermotransferprinzip arbeitenden Druckkopfes (2.1) mit mehreren Druckelementen (2.3, 2.4, 2.5), bei dem in einem Ermittlungsschritt (6.7) die einem ersten Druckelement (2.3) zuzuführende erste Energiemenge ermittelt wird und in einem Zufuhrschritt (6.8) die erste Energiemenge dem ersten Druckelement (2.3) zugeführt wird, um Farbe von einer dem Druckkopf (2.1) zugeordneten Farbträgereinrichtung (3) auf ein der Farbträgereinrichtung (3) zugeordnetes Substrat (4) zur Erzeugung eines ersten Bildpunktes eines ersten Druckbilds (4.1) zu transferieren, wobei die erste Energiemenge in dem Ermittlungsschritt (6.7) in Abhängigkeit von der Druckbildart des ersten Druckbildes (4.1) im Bereich des ersten Bildpunktes ermittelt wird

Figure imgaf001
Method for controlling a printhead (2.1) operating according to the thermal transfer principle with a plurality of printing elements (2.3, 2.4, 2.5), wherein in a determining step (6.7) the first amount of energy to be supplied to a first printing element (2.3) is determined and stored in a feeding step (6.8) the first quantity of energy is supplied to the first printing element (2.3) in order to transfer color from a color carrier device (3) assigned to the print head (2.1) to a substrate (4) associated with the color carrier device (3) for generating a first image point of a first printed image (4.1) wherein the first amount of energy is determined in the determination step (6.7) as a function of the print image type of the first print image (4.1) in the region of the first image point
