  • the color of the print is determined by the color of the image transfer ribbon established.
  • labels of a particular Color printed only with ink of a specific color become. Furthermore, they will end together because the image receiving tape and image transfer tape in a common tape cassette are included.
  • Another device has two tape cassettes, one Ink ribbon cassette is nest-like within a substrate tape cassette arranged on a common side of the print zone. This means that it is tricky and difficult that To remove the ink ribbon cartridge for replacement. Furthermore are the outer dimensions of the ink ribbon cartridge through set the dimensions of the substrate strip, so that their Size or capacity increased only at the expense of the substrate tape could be.
  • a printing apparatus which solves the above problems is known from EP-A-0573187 known.

  • each tape cartridge can easily be separated be removed and used without the other to influence. Because each tape cartridge is recorded separately it is not necessary to take out the other one, so that they are removed as desired, mixed and used appropriately can only be dependent on the selection of a proper Type of image transfer belt for a selected image receiving tape. Furthermore, the size and capacity is everyone Tape cartridge only through the tape cartridge receiving areas and not determined by the other tape cartridge.
  • a printing device of the above type can work without a thermal transfer ribbon. It means that the image receiving tape a so-called thermal direct printing tape could be on the one picture by the generation of heat, but without the interposition of a thermal transfer ribbon can be printed.
