Apparatus and method for drying ink printed on a print medium in a printing system.

摘要

A printer has a sheet feed and drum transport assembly (17), an exit assembly (465) and a dryer. Various print parameters or conditions relating to the drying of the ink on the print medium are monitored. These print parameters include print data density, ink drying characteristics and ambient humidity. The monitored print parameters are used to control the drying. In addition the monitored print parameters are used to control the detaching of the print medium from a rotary transport drum (10).
