Abstract
A rotating print medium retaining clamp is disclosed which securely clamps the print medium or printed image final receiving surface to prevent horizontal or X-axis misregistration while drawing the print medium in a generally circular path through the nip between the platen and the print head. Only the retaining clamp assembly rotates while the support guide remains stationary. The support guide has space for a printing platen to be positioned along the print medium guide path.
