There is described a tray-like cartridge for supplying thin delicate sheets of dye done film in a thermal printer. The cartridge has a slidable lid which normally covers a portion of the cartridge containing a factory-supplied package of film. The lid has a specially shaped window through which sheets of film may be drawn one-by-one from the cartridge for use in the printer. When the cartridge is not in the printer, the lid window is closed. This keeps the film free of dust and protects it from damage. The shape of the lid and its window act in conjunction with a film feeding mechanism of the printer to insure absolute reliability in the separating and feeding of individual sheets of film. Another portion of the cartridge serves as a waste bin for used sheets of the film.
