KODAK 1200i WIDE-FORMAT PRINTING SYSTEM

2. Rapid Dryer Technology

The advanced dual-component drying system uses the principle of conducted heat to dry printed images with much greater efficiency than can be achieved with hot air dryers. The media web is fed over a heated aluminum nose that is curved to maintain intimate contact with the back of the web for effective heat transfer. The nose is an isolated extrusion that incorporates three longitudinal fins with an electrical heating strip mounted to each fin inside the curve (each of the three

electrical heating strips provide up to 323 watts of power). This design evens out heat flow to minimize cold spots under high density printed areas across the web without the long warm-up time of a much thicker section. Ambient air flow is used to pull away moisture and improve drying efficiency by another 30% over that achieved with the heated nose alone. The application of ambient air flow also allows the system to apply more drying power at a lower peak temperature for reduced risk of media damage. Overall the drying system uses approximately 25% less energy over other drying systems.

An ambient fan driven air plenum is used to distribute air flow evenly across the print width. Air flow is downward, carrying heat away from the print zone to improve nozzle reliability and to reduce the risk of edge curl. An intelligent control system regulates electrical power to achieve and maintain temperature set points between 35 and 55 degrees C.

The air plenum may be lowered by removing two locking pins to perform printer maintenance.
