Ink ribbon cartridge
This invention provides an ink ribbon cartridge that can increase the ink ribbon capacity. [Solution] The ink ribbon cartridge is installed in the printing device. The ink ribbon cartridge comprises a cartridge case that houses the ink ribbon and a gear train housed in the cartridge case. When the ink ribbon cartridge is installed in the printing device, the axis of rotation of the winding roll from which the ink ribbon is wound is different from the axis of rotation of the winding shaft. The gear train is configured to transmit the power of the winding shaft to the winding roll.
