(57) A printing tape (A, B, E, F, G, H) for use with a tape-recording printer (20, 120)
having a thermal head (15, 115) which thermally records images on the printing tape,
including a heat-sensitive layer (2, 102, 203, 303, 402) containing a heat-sensitive
chromogenic material, the heat-sensitive layer producing the images when being heated
by the thermal head; and an ultraviolet absorbing layer (1, 101, 201, 302, 401) containing
an ultraviolet absorbing agent, the ultraviolet absorbing layer being provided over
one of opposite major surfaces of the heat-sensitive layer on a side of incidence
of ultraviolet rays to the printing tape in use. A printing tape (J) for use with
a tape-recording printer (120), including a heat-sensitive layer (502) containing
a heat-sensitive chromogenic material, the heat-sensitive layer producing images when
being heated by a thermal head of a printer, the heat-sensitive layer containing an
ultraviolet absorbing agent in addition to the heat-sensitive chromogenic material.
A printing-tape cartridge (C, X, Y, Z, Q, S) accommodating a printing tape (A, B,
E, F, G, H, J), for use with a tape-recording printer (20, 120), the cartridge including
a housing (11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511); a tape spool (10, 23, 110, 210, 310, 410,
510) disposed inside the housing such that the tape spool is rotatable; and the printing
tape being wound around the tape spool.
