Claims14
A partially dried inkjet media conditioner, comprising:
- a print engine that encases a print zone within a housing;
- and
- a media path coupled to a position of a dryer zone between an input and an output of the dryer zone to provide partially dried inkjet media from the dryer zone to a conditioner within the print engine, wherein the conditioner comprises a heated pressure roller and wherein an output of the conditioner is separate from the output of the dryer zone.
A system for a partially dried inkjet media conditioner, comprising:
- a housing;
- a print engine disposed in the housing, wherein the print engine encases a print zone;
- a first media path to provide partially dried inkjet media from the print zone to a dryer zone within the print engine;
- and
- a second media path coupled to a position of the dryer zone between an input and an output of the dryer zone to provide the partially dried inkjet media from the dryer zone to a conditioner within the print engine, wherein the conditioner comprises a heated pressure roller, the output of the dryer zone is coupled to a duplexer zone, and wherein an output of the conditioner is separate from the output of the dryer zone.

- a second media path coupled to a position of the dryer zone between an input and an output of the dryer zone to provide the partially dried inkjet media from the dryer zone to a conditioner positioned above the print zone and the dryer zone within the print engine, wherein the conditioner comprises a heated pressure roller, the output of the dryer zone is coupled to a duplexer zone to return the partially dried inkjet media to the print zone, and wherein an output of the conditioner is separate from the output of the dryer zone;
- and
- a third media path to provide the partially dried inkjet media from the conditioner to an output zone.
