Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1696390A2] The method involves converting each pixel energy value into a number of binary pixel data with the same binary value by printing data control. Each binary pixel data value is output as a component of single printing impulses during a phase of a printing impulse duration of an assigned driver of a thermotransfer printing head. The component produces a printed dot lying in a column of a print image. An independent claim is also included for an arrangement for controlling printing of thermotransfer printing device.
