A printing apparatus includes a heat transfer system for transferring heat away from or to a print medium moving in a movement direction through the printing apparatus. The heat transfer system includes a heat transfer member with a rotatable support surface configured for supporting the print medium. The heat transfer member is provided with at least one channel. The support surface is rotatable around an axis in order to move the print medium in the movement direction. A fluid circulation means is configured for supplying a fluid through said at least one channel. The at least one channel is configured such that, in operation, when fluid is supplied through said at least one channel, torque is generated in a fluido-mechanical manner around said axis, contributing to a rotational movement of the support surface of the heat transfer member.
