ABSTRACT:
A platen assembly is provided for use with a printing system which uses ink jet technology to produce images on a substrate. A platen and the substrate move together as a unit. One or more print rollers deflect the substrate under tension to maintain a stable substrate, critical for maintaining print quality. A pivot point is provided from which the rollers can be cantilevered away. A lifting mechanism is then used to raise and lower the platen and the substrate to and away from a print position.
