Abstract

In one implementation, a system for a partially dried inkjet media finisher includes a media input zone to receive printed media, wherein the printed media is partially dried inkjet media, a transport zone to receive the printed media from the media input zone to lower the print media to an accumulation zone that is coupled vertically below the transport zone, wherein the accumulation zone organizes the received printed media, and the accumulation zone to lower the printed media to an output zone coupled vertically below the accumulation zone, wherein the output zone receives a completed print job from the accumulation zone.
