The ribbon cartridge (1) comprises a substantially cylindrical cartridge body comprised of upper and lower casing halves (20,10). A ribbon supply reel (30) is rotatably housed in the cartridge body and has an ink ribbon (40) wound therearound. A pull sheet (41) is affixed to a leading edge of the ink ribbon, and includes an opening (41a) allowing easy chucking of the ribbon cartridge in a printer. Also provided on the pull sheet are cut-out portions (41b) so arranged as to prevent creasing of the ink ribbon during use. When the ink ribbon has been completely used, the used ribbon is retracted back into the cartridge for easy removal from the printer. <IMAGE>
