Zusammenfassung:The invention refers to a refillable tape cassette ( 2,7 ) for accomodating a supply of printable tape. In order to avoid the need for different tape cassettes for different tape widths it is proposed that the tape cassette ( 2,7 ) is capable of selectively housing supplies of tapes of different widths. Alternatively or additionally, the tape cassette ( 2,7 ) can have a housing comprising a base ( 40 ) on which said tape supply can be releasably fixed, and a lid ( 42 ) fixed to said base ( 40 ), wherein the lid ( 42 ) is pivotally mounted to said base by means of a hinge ( 46 ). Further, proposals are made to hold the windings of refill tape units ( 30 ) together by means of a strip ( 60 ) of adhesive or wax on the axial ends of the units, or by scuffing the backing layer ( 9 ) of an image receiving tape ( 4 ) which is broader than the image receiving layer.
