A ribbon includes at least one dye region, at least one separating region and at least one recognition dye region. Each of the dye regions includes a plurality of dye zones. The separating region is formed on a side of the dye region for separating different dye regions. The recognition dye region is formed on the separating region or formed within a range covered by the corresponding dye region. A thermal print head of a thermal sublimation printer transfers the dye region and the recognition dye region of the ribbon onto a print medium, so as to form an image area and a recognition mark on the print medium, correspondingly. A cutting mechanism of the thermal sublimation printer is used for cutting the print medium when a sensor of the thermal sublimation printer senses the recognition mark.
A ribbon adapted to a thermal sublimation printer, the thermal sublimation printer comprising a thermal print head, a sensor and a cutting mechanism, the ribbon comprising:
