ABSTRACT:
A method of drying a printed media web in a printing system, the method including the steps of: passing a media web along a media path from a media cartridge, past a printhead, and over an opening; using at least one fan to force air past an heating element provided within a first chamber located on one side of the opening, the first chamber adapted to direct the heated air through the opening into a second drying chamber located on the other side of the opening; and, driving the printed media web along the media path such that the printed media web extends from the media path, via the opening, into the second drying chamber which receives subsequent portions of the printed media web as the media web is driven along the media path.
