Abstract
A printing system that includes a web guide having a preprinting section which guides a substrate into the printing system, and a postprinting section which maintains tension in the substrate as the substrate moves through the printing system. A printing section is positioned between the preprinting section and the postprinting section. The printing section includes a removable platen to provide a gap in the printing section to prevent excess ink which is deposited onto the substrate from accumulating underneath the substrate.
