A tape transport for driving a continuous master tape and a copy tape through a tape contact printing station at a very high speed. The master tape has a prerecorded signal the reverse image of which is transferred onto the copy tape by the tape contact printing station. The tape transport enables the master and copy tapes to maintain contact and registration with the required degree of accuracy to produce an acceptable signal transfer which generates a high quality video signal for use in home video cassette recorders and viewing equipment.
