ABSTRACT:
An inkjet printer includes an air duct arranged to deliver air to the printer's print media transport assembly in order to warm-set dry print media before its exit from the printer. To facilitate circulation of the air the transport assembly includes foraminous conveyor belts which are sufficiently long to allow for approximately 1 second of drying time at the printer's operational speed.
