Abstract
A printer includes: a printhead; a platen positioned below the printhead for supporting print media conveyed along a media feed direction through a print zone, the platen defining at least one particle-collection slot upstream of the print zone relative to the media feed direction and an ink-collection slot positioned in the print zone downstream of the particle-collection slot. A dam wall is positioned between the particle-collection slot and the ink-collection slot, with the dam wall extending transversely relative to the media feed direction.
