Abstract

A heater (50) is disposed in a post-print location of an ink printer (10) to provide a post-print drying of an ink image formed on a recording medium (16). The heater (50) includes a foil circuit (52) made of a material which, when receiving an applied power from a power source (56), emits radiation in the infrared range. The heater (50) is located above the paper path and presents a rapid uniform application of IR radiation to predetermined areas of the recorded image resulting in fast, efficient drying of the image and enabling a high productivity printer.
