A process and a device are described for production of a dial by imprinting a blank with an imprint which enable cost-effective production of very high quality even with small quantities. Data entered via an input device are delivered to a data management device, which positions the dial pattern on a printing master defined by the data entered. If a pattern is not stored in memory, a new pattern is requested from a design device and delivered to the data management device, which enters the printing master into an output device. The output device generates the printing master according to drawing data and outputs it to a printer which creates a prefixed toner image on a carrier sheet. The blank to be imprinted and the carrier sheet with the toner image mirror- inverted to the imprint are introduced into a press and the blank is aligned in a predefined position and the carrier sheet is aligned in a predefined position corresponding to the position of the blank. By softening the toner image and pressing the toner image onto the blank, the toner image is transferred from the carrier sheet to the blank and forms, together with the blank, a dial provided with the imprint. Then, the carrier sheet may be removed from the transferred toner image and the dial removed from the press. The press may be designed as a flat press, a roller press, or a combination of the two.
