An image processing apparatus (10) comprises a vacuum imaging drum (300) for holding thermal print media (32) and dye donor material (36), in registration with the thermal print media (32), on a surface of the vacuum imaging drum (300). A printhead (500) prints information to the thermal print media (32) as the printhead is moved parallel to the surface (305) of the vacuum imaging drum (300). Angled vacuum holes (306) connect the surface (305) and an interior (304) of the vacuum imaging drum (300) to maintain the thermal print media (32) on the surface. The angled vacuum holes (306) are at an acute angle to the surface (305) of the vacuum imaging drum (300).
