Abstract

A printing process for the transfer of printing substance (8) from an ink carrier (2) onto an imprinting material, in which the printing substance (8) undergoes a change in volume and/or position by means of an induced procedure of an energy-releasing apparatus, and thereby a transfer of a printing point onto the imprinting material takes place. The invention further includes a printing machine suitable for practicing the process.
