An ink-ribbon cartridge (28) in a printer with a moving printing point remains stationary at one place while the ink ribbon (20) moves along a predetermined ribbon length to the printing point and away from the latter. The ribbon length is determined by a first flexible guide element (34) which extends from the cartridge (28) up to the printing point and a second flexible guide element (36) which extends from the printing point back to the cartridge (28). The cartridge (28) bears a supply roll for storing the ink ribbon (20) before it is supplied to the moving printing point and a receiving roll for storing the ink ribbon (20) when it has been returned from the moving printing point. <IMAGE> |
