Abstract
A method of producing a thermal transfer print on a substrate cylinder using a tape-like transfer film, the method including exerting a contact force on a substrate using the transfer film for producing a static friction force, and controlling exact synchronism between the tape-like transfer film and the substrate cylinder by using the magnitude of the static friction force.
