An elongated-strip-article processor comprises: a processing section for applying printing to a plurality of continuous elongated strip articles along conveying passages of the elongated strip articles by an ink jet printer; a conveying section disposed in a vicinity of the processing section for intermittently conveying the elongated strip articles by a predetermined length; tension adjusting sections respectively disposed upstream and downstream out of a range of the conveying passages including the processing section and the conveying section for adjusting tension of each of the elongated strip articles at a constant value; sensors respectively provided at the tension adjusting sections for detecting a length of slack of each of the elongated strip articles; and feed sections disposed respectively upstream of the upstream-side tension adjusting section and downstream of the downstream-side tension adjusting section so as to correspond to the individual elongated strip articles. Each of the feed sections is adapted to switch between a state of positively feeding each elongated strip article and a state of suppressing feed of each elongated strip article based on detection signals from the respective sensors. By the elongated-strip-article processor, a plurality of elongated strip articles on an ink jet printer or the like can be accurately conveyed with optimum tension for the respective articles.
