Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method for printing on a continuous web of imaging material in an inkjet printing machine having a turnbar reverser to reverse the direction of the web for duplex printing. The turnbar reverser includes at least one turnbar having a predetermined pattern of apertures formed in a surface of the turnbar. The optimized apertures direct a flow of air provided by a blower to provide an air flow to float the web above the surface of the turnbar, allow for higher operating tensions, and reduce acoustic noise generation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An inversion apparatus configured to invert a continuous web of recording media moving along a path in an imaging system, the inversion apparatus comprising: an input configured to receive the continuous web of recording media; an output, displaced from the input, the output configured to convey the continuous web of recording media after being inverted; a blower configured to provide a flow of forced air; a turnbar configured to convey the continuous…
