Tape printing apparatus and method of forming print image for tape

摘要

There are provided a tape printing apparatus and a method of forming a print image for a tape. A basic image is deformed in the direction of width of a tape, based on a specific modification pattern, and then the deformed basic image is printed on the tape. Modifying data of the modification pattern is stored in a memory device. The basic image data representative of the basic image is developed into a dot matrix corresponding to a print area of the tape. Each dot of each dot line of the basic image data developed into the dot matrix, the each dot line extending in the direction of the width of the tape, is shifted in a direction corresponding to the direction of width of the tape, based on the modification pattern to thereby form the print image.
