Abstract

A scanning head ink jet printer (10) for high-speed, large formatoutput of graphics quality utilizes a high throughput ink delivery system (24), variable paper advance interlacing at a variety ofsaber angles, a printing medium handling system (22), and in certain embodiments, multiple print heads (84, 86) disposed on a common carriage (88). The medium handling system (22) includes paper tensioning subassemblies (512, 519) to maintain constant tension during printing and, when used with hot melt inks, during a post-imaging heating process to cure the image into the printing medium (28). Memory units (48, 530) provide characteristics information regarding ink and printing medium (28) for use by a controller (532, 1402).
