ABSTRACT:
A platen roller for a thermal printer includes a compliant base material having a network stretch-resistant material embedded in it. The stretch-resistant material is preferably a network of nonwoven nylon, woven polyester, woven fiberglass, or similar structure which resists shear forces in a platen roller that transports a receiver through a nip in contact with a donor, which, in turn, is contacted by a thermal head. The reduction in shear forces improves the registration of color images in making a quality multicolor image.
