Abstract

The method involves determining an energy quantity to be supplied to a printing unit during supplying to transfer color from a color carrying mechanism to a substrate that is assigned to the mechanism, where the mechanism is assigned to a print head. A memory characterizing a pressure parameter set from the mechanism and assigned to the mechanism is read, where the quantity is determined using the set. An independent claim is also included for a franking machine comprising a printer with a thermal transfer print head.
