A print method using a printer module of a portable label printing/sticking machine, the portable label printing/sticking machine performing printing on each label piece of a continuous label formed by temporarily adhering a plurality of label pieces on a ribbon-shaped liner sheet and sticking the label pieces, wherein the printer module is first and second printer modules provided in at least two vertical stages, any one of the first and second printer modules being provided with an item print band across at least two columns, the other one of the first and second printer modules being provided with a data print band, and the print method includes printing a partitioning frame that partitions a print area of the label piece into four regions including upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right regions on the label piece in advance; and printing on the four regions of the print area using the first and second printer modules.

A method includes moving a multi-color ribbon over a target object. The multi-color ribbon has a lower layer and an upper layer of inks or pigments. The method also includes applying heat and pressure onto the multi-color ribbon to transfer the overlying layers of the inks or pigments to the target object, and removing at least a portion of the lower layer of the ink or pigment that was transferred to the target object to reveal at least a portion of the upper layer of the ink or pigment that were transferred to the target object.

A multi-color retransfer single stamping system includes at least one thermal print head configured to print a color from a donor ribbon onto a retransfer film to print indicia on the retransfer film, and thermal stamps configured to apply pressure onto the retransfer film to transfer the indicia from the retransfer film to one or more target objects.
