ABSTRACT:
A printing machine having a dryer for drying liquid ink printing deposited in a print zone on a surface of a recording medium moving along a path. The dryer includes a heat source, generating heat energy, disposed adjacently to the path, for heating the recording medium and drying the ink. A reflector system, including a first reflector and a second reflector, direct the heat energy toward another surface of the recording medium. In one embodiment, the heat source comprises a quartz tube having a reflective coating, acting as the first reflector, deposited on a surface of the tube, and the second reflector directs additional heat energy towards the recording medium.
