Ink jet printer system for printing an image on a web overlaying a removable substrate and method of assembling the printer. The ink jet printer system comprises an ink jet print head for jetting ink onto the web to form an image on the web. A feeder mechanism is coupled to the print head for feeding the web and substrate past the print head during printing. A first roller is aligned with the feeder mechanism and is adapted to engage the substrate for removing the substrate from the web. A second roller is aligned with the first roller, the second roller being adapted to layer a covering onto the printed image as the first roller removes the substrate from the web. A third roller is aligned with the second roller for supplying the covering to the second roller. In this manner, a layered web is defined. Moreover, a steaming core is provided to bundle-up the layered web, so that a steaming roll is defined thereby. A steam generator receives the steaming roll and generates steam for fixing the ink to the layered web that belongs to the steaming roll. The covering is removed from the layered web to define a bare web. Further, a washer is disposed to wash the bare web for removing unfixed ink from the bare web. Also, a hot-air blower directs heated air onto the bare web for drying the bare web. A take-up reel may also be provided to engage the bare web and wrap the bare web thereabout for packaging the bare web for shipment.
