A multicolor imprinter employs a plurality of heat transferable tape of different colors wound upon one another in continuous convolutions on a supply reel which has its axis of rotation parallel to the direction of travel of the tapes through a marking zone. A guide structure is provided between the supply reel and the marking zone to turn the tapes so that they are parallel and coplanar as they traverse the marking zone. A separate takeup reel is provided for each tape and has an axis of rotation perpendicular to the direction of tape travel.
