To provide a thermal transfer sheet wound body which has identification means for one end side and the other end side thereof, and to further provide a thermal transfer sheet wound body capable of performing an end detection of the thermal transfer sheet, and a thermal transfer sheet printing equipment with use of the thermal transfer sheet wound body.SOLUTION: A thermal transfer sheet wound body 1 has a bobbin 2 and a thermal transfer sheet 3 wound on the bobbin 2, in which there are parts having different colors at one end and the other end of the thermal transfer sheet 3 wound on the bobbin 2. Color coding is performed by use of colors of a yellow layer, a magenta layer and a cyan layer of the thermal transfer sheet 3. The color coded parts are detected by optical sensors 6, 7.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】熱転写シート巻回体の軸心線方向の一端側と他端側との識別手段を有した熱転写シート巻回体を提供する。熱転写シートのエンド検知を行うことができる熱転写シート巻回体及びこの熱転写シート巻回体を用いた熱転写印画装置を提供する。【解決手段】ボビン２と、前記ボビン２に巻回された熱転写シート３とを有する熱転写シート巻回体１において、ボビン２に巻回された熱転写シート３の一方の端部と他方の端部とに色の異なる部分が存在する。熱転写シート３のイエロー層、マゼンタ層及びシアン層の色を利用してこの色分けを行う。この色分け部分を光学センサ６，７で検知する。【選択図】図５
