Abstract
In one example, a system for a partially dried inkjet media conditioner includes a heated pressure roller to apply pressure to a first side of partially dried inkjet media and apply heat to a second side of the partially dried inkjet media.
Claims15
A media conditioner, comprising:
- a first roller to apply pressure to a first side of print media and a second roller to apply heat to a second side of print media, wherein the print media includes a moisture level that is above a threshold moisture level from printing fluid deposited on the media.
A system for a partially dried inkjet media conditioner, comprising:
- an inkjet print zone to deposit printing fluid on a media to generate partially dried inkjet media that includes a moisture level, wherein the partially dried inkjet media comprises a distorted property generated by the printing fluid;
- a dryer zone to receive the partially dried inkjet media from the inkjet print zone, wherein the dryer zone lowers the moisture level below a first moisture threshold level;
- and
- a conditioner to receive the partially dried inkjet media from the dryer zone and to lower the moisture level below a second moisture threshold level, wherein the conditioner includes a first roller to apply pressure on the partially dried inkjet media and a second roller to apply heat on the partially dried inkjet media.
1 more element
A system for a partially dried inkjet media conditioner, comprising:
- a dryer zone to receive partially dried inkjet media from a print zone of a printing device, wherein the dryer zone includes a dryer zone roller to move the partially dried inkjet media through the dryer zone;
- a first heated pressure roller to receive the partially dried inkjet media from the dryer zone;
- a second heated pressure roller coupled to an output of the first heated pressure roller to receive the partially dried inkjet media from the first heated pressure roller, wherein a speed of the second heated pressure roller is altered based on a moisture level of the partially dried inkjet media received at the second heated pressure roller.
