A process for printing plastic or plastic cards, comprises applying a primer lacquer to the side to be printed, arranging the motif carrier (11,12) on the plastic card so that the motif to be transferred has the correct location, and arranging a flexible layer (15,16) on the plastic card (2) opposite the motif carrier. A pressure of at least 0.45 N/mm2 is then applied, at a temperature of at least 80 deg C, over at least 15 seconds, so the motif is completely transferred from the carrier to the card. The card is then cooled to room temperature for 20-40 seconds.
