In a method and arrangement for generation of an imprint with a printing device operating according to a dot matrix principle (in particular an inkjet principle), a dot pattern is provided for the imprint, with which the printing device image points corresponding to the provided dot pattern on a substrate. For at least one first image point a probability with which the image point is generated is provided. Whether this image point is actually generated on the substrate is determined in a decision step using a random generator and the probability. The image point is generated (or not) in a subsequent step dependent on the result of the decision step.

Method and arrangement for generating a dot matrix imprint with control using random output and probability

A print image, such as for a franking apparatus, is composed of a number of elements to which different security levels are assigned. In a storage medium, and in a franking apparatus containing such a storage medium, for the print image, the image data are stored in a manner allocated to respectively different security levels.
