A printing apparatus comprises a print head (84) and foil feed means (24,26) provided on a mount (17,48) for feeding foil (22) past the print head when the mount is in a feed position adjacent the print head. The print head is operable to transfer ink from the foil onto a recording medium for generating printed matter on the recording medium. The print head is movable relative to the body of the apparatus between a printing position at which printing is effected and a user accessible position spaced therefrom. The apparatus is configured so that the mount can be withdrawn away from the print head with the withdrawal operation causing the print head to move from the printing position to the accessible position. <IMAGE> |
