An apparatus for electrothermal printing using an ink film which has a layer of fusible ink on a resistive layer. The resistive layer is contact by a plurality of stylus electrodes which are formed on an insulating substrate. A potential difference applied to pairs of adjacent electrodes heats the resistive layer, allowing fusible ink to be transferred to a transfer sheet to form picture elements. A plurality of picture elements can be produced simultaneously by dividing the styluses into N groups, represented as NxJ+1, NxJ+2, etc., where J is 0, 2, 3, . . . , and N is an odd number greater than 3. The groups are printed, one after the other, by energizing styluses which correspond to the picture elements to form a picture.
