摘要:
A print media moving apparatus includes a web guide positioned immediately upstream relative to a roller. The web guide has an arcuate surface including three sections with the second section located between the first and third sections. The arcuate surface includes a peak in the second section. The roller, having a diameter and rotational axis, includes three sections with the second section located between the first and third section as viewed along the rotational axis. The diameter of the roller in the first and third sections is greater than in the second section. The three sections of the web guide correspond to the three sections of the roller such that the contour of the arcuate surface causes the print media, after leaving the web guide, to contact the first and third sections of the roller prior to contacting the second section of the roller.

Inkjet printing systems are described that have deflection surfaces to guide a condensation reducing airflow between a printing module and a receiver without disrupting inkjet drop placements.
摘要:
Inkjet printing methods are described that create a combination of higher resistance flow areas and lower resistance flow areas to allow a vaporized carrier fluid reducing airflow to flow between a printing module and a receiver without disrupting inkjet drop placements. Removal of the vaporized carrier fluid reduces condensation.

摘要:
Condensation control systems are provided for use with inkjet printing systems that use a combination of higher resistance flow areas and lower resistance flow areas to allow a vaporized carrier fluid reducing airflow to flow between a printing module and a receiver during printing without creating observable artifacts in a print. Removal of the vaporized carrier fluid reduces condensation.
摘要:
A media inverting system is described for a cut sheet printing system. A first media transport advances a media sheet in a first direction, the media sheet having a first side that contacts the first media transport and an opposing second side. A rotatable member having a rotation axis that is substantially parallel to the first direction receives the media sheet from the first media transport and rotates to advance the media sheet around the rotatable member. A rotatable member force mechanism is switchable between a first state where the second side of the media sheet is held to the rotatable member, and a second state where the media sheet is released. A second media transport receives the media sheet from the rotatable member and advances the media sheet in an inverted orientation in a second direction that is substantially parallel to the first direction.

摘要:
Methods for operating an inkjet printing system are provided. In one method, a cross-module airflow is used to limit concentrations of an evaporated inkjet carrier fluid between barrier that is between inkjet printheads of a printing module and a receiver. In the method, inkjet droplets are printed along a first print line and a second print line as the receiver is moved past the first print line and as the receiver is moved past the second print line. A co-linear airflow that flows along with ink droplets to the receiver is also supplied. Between the first print line and the second print line the receiver is moved to create an integration area in which the cross-module airflow and co-linear airflow can integrate and flow from between the printing module and the receiver without disrupting the travel of ink droplets.
摘要:
Inkjet printing systems are provided that use a cross-module airflow to limit condensation between a printing module and a receiver and that supply a co-linear flow of air that flows along with ink droplets toward a receiver. An integration area is created between the inkjet printhead heads, the receiver and a barrier to allow co-linear flow and cross-module flow to integrate and flow from between the printing module and the receiver without disrupting travel paths of the ink droplets.
