Tape-shaped printing medium and method of printing on tape-shaped printing medium by means of ink-jet printer

A method of printing upon a tape-shaped printing medium by means of an ink-jet printer, said method comprising:

• providing a tape-shaped printing medium including an image-receiving surface of a given width;
• transporting said tape-shaped printing medium along a transport path through a printing position for an ink-jet head;
• conducting solid printing of a predetermined length onto said tape-shaped printing medium which passes through said printing position;
• and
• cutting the tape-shaped printing medium of which printing has been completed either upstream from a printing starting position or downstream from a printing finishing position for obtaining a portion of printed tape-shaped printing medium of a certain length solidly printed essentially without gaps at least at an edge of said cut portion.

A tape-shaped printing medium with an image-receiving surface of a certain width and a dummy image-receiving surface of a predetermined width formed on at least one side of said image-receiving surface comprising:

• an image receiving layer including said image-receiving surface and said dummy image-receiving surface;
• an adhesive layer formed on the reverse face of said image-receiving layer;
• and
• a peeling paper layer covering said adhesive layer.

A tape-shaped printing medium with an image-receiving surface of a certain width and a dummy image-receiving surface of a predetermined width formed on at least one side of said image-receiving surface comprised of:

• an image-receiving layer including an image-receiving surface;
• an adhesive layer formed on the reverse face of said image-receiving layer;
• and
• a peeling paper covering said adhesive layer wherein the face of said peeling paper which faces said adhesive layer is provided with an exposed surface whereupon there is no deposition of said image-receiving layer nor said adhesive layer, said exposed surface comprising said dummy image-receiving surface.

A method for printing on a print medium comprising the steps of:

• providing a print medium including a first image receiving surface and a second image receiving surface;
• printing said print medium so as to form an essentially solid coating across a border between said first image receiving surface and said second image receiving surface;
• and
• cutting said print medium along said border.

A print medium comprising:

• a first layer including a first image receiving surface and at least a second image receiving surface;
• a second layer of adhesive formed on a face of said first layer;
• and
• a third layer peelably secured to said second layer.

A print medium comprising:

• a first layer including a first image receiving surface;
• a second layer of adhesive formed on a face of said first layer;
• and
• a third layer peelably secured to said second layer including a second image receiving surface.

A method for printing on a print medium comprising the steps of:

• providing a print medium including a first image receiving surface and a second image receiving surface;
• printing said print medium so as to form an essentially solid coating across a border between said first image receiving surface and said second image receiving surface;
• and
• cutting said print medium laterally so as to provide a piece of said print medium.
