RECORDING SUBSTRATE TREATMENT APPARATUS, PRINTING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DRYING

摘要

The present invention relates to a recording substrate treatment apparatus, comprising a transporting means for transporting a sheet of a recording substrate; a suction means to provide an underpressure force at an outer surface of the transporting means arranged for holding down a sheet of a recording substrate; a heating means for directly heating the recording substrate; and a blowing means for providing a flow of a gaseous medium at the outer surface of the transporting means, wherein in operation the blowing means receives the gaseous medium from the suction means. The present invention also pertains to a printing system comprising such a recording substrate treatment apparatus and a method of drying a recording substrate using such a recording substrate recording apparatus.
