A printing device, inductive heating device, and method are disclosed. An embodiment of the printing device includes a printing mechanism for printing an image on a print medium, a metal belt for transporting the print medium, and an induction heater positioned adjacent the metal belt, the induction heater being configured to induce an alternating current in an area of the metal belt adjacent the induction heater, the alternating current uniformly heating the area of the metal belt adjacent the induction heater. An embodiment of the inductive heating device includes a power source and a coil coupled to the power source to produce a varying magnetic field around the coil and positioned adjacent the metal belt to induce an alternating current in an area of the metal belt through which the varying magnetic field passes, the alternating current uniformly heating the area of the metal belt. An embodiment of the method includes generating a varying magnetic flux through an area of the metal belt, inducing an alternating current in the area of the metal belt through which the magnetic flux passes, and uniformly heating the area of the metal belt through which the magnetic flux passes. Further characteristics and features of the printing device, inductive heating device, and method are disclosed herein.
