Duplex section

A device comprising a duplex section, the duplex section comprising:

• a first retaining section arranged to retain a first portion of a medium received from a processing section, the medium having first and second faces;
• and
• a second retaining section arranged to retain a second portion of the medium,
• wherein the duplex section is arranged such that
• the medium is held substantially flat by the first and second retaining sections,
• the medium is linearly stretched by the first and second retaining sections while being held substantially flat, and
• while, or subsequent to, being stretched the medium is returned to the processing section with the first and second faces interchanged relative to the processing of the processing section.

A method of processing a medium, the method comprising:

• receiving the medium from a processing section, the medium having first and second faces;
• linearly stretching the medium while the medium is held substantially flat;
• and
• returning the medium to the processing section such that the first and second faces are interchanged with respect to the processing of the processing section.
