Lettering tape, tape cassette and tape printer

摘要

A lettering tape (10) is formed having an integrated layered configuration in which a base layer (58), an ink layer (59), and an adhesive layer (60) exhibiting adhesive properties when heated are sequentially stacked. When the lettering tape (10) is selectively heated by a thermal head (30) to form an image thereon, the heated portion of the ink layer (59) onto which an image has been formed is adhered to the heated portion of the adhesive layer (60) and simultaneously, the heated portion of the adhesive layer (60) exhibits self-adhesive properties, thereby enabling transfer to the target transfer body.
