In a method and apparatus for generating a print image, particularly a franking imprint, on an image carrier composed of at least one first partial image and a second partial image that are transversely offset relative to a first direction, a relative motion between a drop-ejecting print head and the image carrier is generated along the first direction in a first step for generating the first partial image, a transverse offset between the print head and the image carrier is generated in a second direction proceeding transversely to the first direction in a second step, and a relative motion between the print head and the image carrier is generated along the first direction in a third step for generating the second partial image. The transverse offset in the second step is selected such that an overlap region between the first and second partial images exists, and first ink drops are ejected in the overlap region in the first and third steps with the drop mass of the first ink drops being controlled such that an essentially smooth transition occurs between the first and second partial images.
