Abstract

A method of printing utilises a printing apparatus (10) of the kind in which a print head (17) has a plurality of printing elements each of which may he operated during printing to transfer a pixel of print medium from a carrier (15) onto an adjacent substrate (21), the method comprising the steps of carrying out printing at a printing station (16) by causing relative movement between the print head (17) and the substrate (21) whilst operating energising individual printing elements of the print head (17) and, during printing, effecting relative movement between the carrier (15) and each of the print head (17) and the substrate (21).
