Abstract
A cartridge for a printer system for storing a paper and an ink film comprises an ink film storing part provided at a front side of the cartridge for holding a first roll of ink film and a second roll of ink film immediately behind the first roll so that the ink film is wound between the first and second rolls continuously and a paper storing part behind the ink film storing part for storing the paper therein as a form of a paper stack. The ink film storing part has a first opening on a first side of the cartridge so as to allow taking out of the first roll of ink film from the cartridge through the first opening, and the paper storing part has a second opening on a second side of the cartridge relative to the direction of insertion of the cartridge into the printer which is opposite to the first side so as to allow feeding of the paper from the cartridge through the second opening.
