Abstract

An inkjet printer applies ink from one or more printheads to media which is supported by a screen platen. The screen platen allows transfer of heat by radiation and convection from a heat generator unit to pre-printing portion of the print zone, an ink-applying portion of the print zone, and a post-printing portion of the print zone.
