Abstract
An ink ribbon conveyance mechanism conveys an ink ribbon including color ink layers. A transfer film conveyance mechanism conveys a transfer film on which transfer frames are formed at a predetermined pitch in a longitudinal direction and demarcated by frame marks having light transmissivity lower than that of the rest of the transfer film. A line sensor is arranged to extend in a width direction of the transfer film across end portions of the frame marks in the width direction. A thermal head is brought into press (contact with a platen roller with the ink ribbon and transfer film interposed in between. When forming color images on a selected one of the transfer frames, the controller adjusts positions of the images to be formed on the selected transfer frame in the width direction based on light-reception information outputted from the line sensor.
