The invention concerns a thermal printing ribbon for an office printer and bearing a sequence of coloring areas (3-7) that serve to print a picture in at least one printing zone onto a printing support sheet of specified format. The formats of the consecutive coloring areas (3-7) that serve to print a printing zone are substantially sub-multiples of the format of the printing support sheet but significantly different one from another. The invention is appropriate for color printing by thermal transfer.

Thermal printing ribbon for an office color printer

A cassette for thermal-transfer printing ribbon (2), designed to be fitted in a printer comprising a printing head (21) in front of which sheets of paper (30) are intended to pass and comprising a housing (3; 103) for accommodating a delivery spool (4; 104), a housing (5; 105) for accommodating a take-up spool (6; 106), means (8; 108) designed to be driven in rotation and drive the take-up spool (6; 106), a window (9; 109) being made between the two housings (3, 5; 103, 105) and designed to allow interaction of the printing head (21) and the ribbon (2) extending between the two housings (3, 5; 103, 105).
