Abstract
A thermal transfer type printing apparatus includes a thermal head constituted by a number of heating elements and is closely contacted with an ink ribbon. The thermal head is driven in accordance with print information to transfer the ink layer of the ink ribbon fed from an ink ribbon feeding reel to a paper. The negative formed on the ink ribbon due to the ink transferring is erased by the thermal head whose heating elements are driven while the ink ribbon is rewinded to an ink ribbon feeding reel.
