ARTICLE AND METHOD FOR COOLING A SHEET OF MATERIAL WHILE MINIMIZING WRINKLING AND CURLING WITHIN THE SHEET

摘要

A cooling article (10) adapted for use with a thermal-processing apparatus for cooling a thermally-processable element after the element is heated by a heating member (12) within the thermal-processing apparatus (14). The cooling article can include a cooling plate (18) having a textured and/or perforated cooling surface (20) positionable relative to the heated member so that the sheet slides on the cooling surface.
