ABSTRACT:
A wallpaper printer includes a support frame. A cabinet assembly is mounted on the support frame. A drying module is operatively mountable with respect to the support frame and defines a first chamber and a second drying chamber. A heating element is positioned within the first chamber. At least one fan is operatively positioned with respect to the first chamber to force air past the heating element. The first chamber is configured to direct the heated air through an opening into a second drying chamber. The drying module includes a motorized door for opening and closing the opening. The drying module is configured so that, in use, the second drying chamber receives printed media via the opening. The drying module further includes at least one circulation duct to transfer at least a portion of the heated air from the second drying chamber towards the at least one fan.
