Claims

Printing in which an arbitrary print pattern is recorded on the recording medium by pressing the thermal head against the recording medium through a ribbon film in which a transfer material area and a blank area including a cue mark are repeatedly arranged in the longitudinal direction of the base film. And
A mark detection unit that is located downstream of the printing unit and detects the cue mark;
When the distance from the beginning of each transfer material region to each cue mark is L1 (≧ 0) and the distance from the transfer position of the thermal head to the cue mark detection position is L2 (> 0), L1 <L2 A ribbon transport mechanism for transporting a ribbon film in which a transfer material region and a cue mark are arranged so as to satisfy,
Ribbon film transported from the time when the cue mark is detected to the end of printing of the transfer material area corresponding to the cue mark while monitoring the cue mark passing the detection position during printing A transport amount acquisition unit for determining the transport amount of
According to the ribbon film standard, the ribbon film is sequentially fed by the value obtained by subtracting the transport amount from the sum of the unprinted area length and blank area length of the transfer material area that is determined when the cue mark is detected, and the next transfer. And a ribbon conveyance control unit that positions the top of the material region at a printing start position.
