Abstract: A color ink-jet printer having a heating blower system for evaporating ink carriers from the print medium after ink-jet printing. A preheat drive roller engages the medium and draws it to a print zone. The drive roller is heated and preheats the medium before it reaches the print zone. At the print zone, a print heater heats the underside of the medium via radiant and convective heat transfer through an opening pattern formed in a print zone heater screen. The amount of heat energy is variable, depending on the type of the print medium. A crossflow fan at the exit side of the print zone direct an airflow at the print zone in order to cause turbulence at the medium surface being printed and further accelerate evaporation of the ink carriers from the medium. An exhaust fan and duct system exhausts air and ink carrier vapor away from the print zone and out of the printer housing.

Abstract translation: 一种彩色喷墨打印机，具有用于在喷墨打印之后从打印介质蒸发墨水载体的加热鼓风机系统。 预热驱动辊接合介质并将其拉到打印区。 驱动辊被加热并在介质到达打印区之前预热介质。 在打印区域，打印加热器通过辐射和对流的热传递，通过印刷区加热器屏幕中形成的开口图案来加热介质的下侧。 取决于打印介质的类型，热能的量是可变的。 在打印区域的出口侧的横流风扇引导打印区域的气流，以便在打印介质表面处引起湍流，并进一步加速墨水介质从介质的蒸发。 排气风扇和管道系统将空气和墨水载体蒸气从打印区域排出并离开打印机外壳。
