Provided is an method of manufacturing an optical fiber tape core wire with which, even when the optical fiber tape core wire is separated into optical fiber wires, it can be determined which optical fiber tape core wire each optical fiber wire is associated with. A fiber running length adjustment device 13 adjusting the running lengths of the optical fiber wires 2 running from printers 8 (8A to 8D) to a tape forming device 11 is used to adjust the running lengths of all the optical fiber wires 2 between the printers 8 and the tape forming device 11 to a same length. By this adjustment, markings 6 formed on each optical fiber wire 2 (2A to 2D) can be aligned with the corresponding markings 6 formed on the other fiber wires 2 to the same position.

[Problem] To achieve, at low cost, identification of optical fibers constituting an optical fiber ribbon. [Solution] The disclosure involves an optical fiber ribbon including a plurality of optical fibers arranged side by side in the width direction. Each optical fiber includes a colored section colored by an identification color for identifying the optical fiber from the other optical fibers. The respective colored sections of the plurality of optical fibers are each formed by coloring a portion, in the length direction, of the respective optical fiber according to a common pattern.
