A transfer lamination method uses a transfer lamination device including a transfer ribbon comprising a transfer film on a carrier web, a print unit comprising a print head, and a transfer unit configured to transfer a film section of the transfer film to a substrate. In the method, the transfer ribbon is fed in a feed direction past the print unit and the transfer unit. Tension is generated in the transfer ribbon using the print head while processing the transfer ribbon using the transfer unit.
