ARTICLE, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COOLING A THERMALLY PROCESSED MATERIAL

摘要

An article (46) for cooling an imaging material (26) which has been heated to a first temperature by a thermal processor (10). The article (46) includes a first cooling section (47) on which the imaging material (26) rides after the imaging material (26) exits the thermal processor (10). The first cooling section (47) is at a lower temperature than the first temperature. The first cooling section (47) has a curved shape such that the imaging material (26) is curved when riding on and being cooled by the first cooling section (47).
