Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a printer including a stackable item loading station, a stackable item printing station, a stackable item curing station, and a stackable item eject station. The printer also includes a carrier arrangement for moving stackable items between the stackable item loading station, the stackable item printing station, the microscope slide curing station and the microscope slide eject station. The carrier arrangement includes a carrier member for receiving and moving the microscope slides. The carrier member is linearly movable along a conveyance axis.
