<p>The purpose of the present invention is to provide a tape cassette that prevents a faded print image from being printed on a print tape and prevents ink fall-out on a print image on print tape, and that comprises an internal ink ribbon capable of printing a clean print image on a print tape, and to provide a tape printing device that uses the tape cassette. An ink ribbon (9) contained within a tape cassette used by a tape printing device (1) is constituted by a coloring layer that is formed by application onto a base film and that includes a wax and a pigment, and a heat sensitive print layer comprising an adherence layer that is formed by application on-to the coloring layer. The solidifying point of the heat sensitive print layer is adjusted to be 89°C or greater, and the difference between the glass transition point and the melting point of the heat sensitive print layer is adjusted to be no greater than 23°C.</p> |
