Abstract

A moving belt accurately transports a wide variety of media through the print zone of an ink jet printer without distortion caused by tension in the media and without pinch rollers, star wheels, nip rollers, or other media transport assisting apparatus. The belt may be horizontally mounted and may comprise a coated paper material for ink absorption and high sliding friction characteristics.
