ABSTRACT:
A method of improving the quality of printed impression obtained from thermal transfer printing on a print receiving medium having a poor print receiving surface is disclosed. A thermal transfer ribbon is fed with the print receiving medium and during feeding thereof thermal printing elements are energized selectively to print a required impression. The selected elements are energized repeatedly in a sequence of printing cycles to cause re-heating of the transfer ribbon to ensure that ink required to be transferred but not received successfully by the medium in one cycle is successfully received in a subsequent cycle.
