Large format printer

A tensioner device for use with a printing device is described which is to hold an end of a print target holder sheet in a substantially planar configuration across a platen of a printing device. The tensioner device can be fixed to a frame attachable to a platen of a printing device. The tensioner device has a first surface, and the frame has a second surface corresponding to the first surface. The first surface is formed to slide along the second surface in a first direction having an oblique angle with respect to a plane of the print target holder sheet. A fixing mechanism is also described which allows the first surface to be fixed to the second surface at different positions along the first direction. An apparatus including the tensioner device and the frame is also described. A system including a printer, a platen, tensioner devices and frames is also described.

Example implementations relate to substrate permeability assessment. Some examples may determine whether voids are shown in an image of a substrate and whether there is a repeating pattern in the image. Some examples may also determine whether printing fluid would pass through the substrate during printing based on the determinations of whether voids are shown in the image and whether there is a repeating pattern in the image.

Printer

The invention relates to a print media loading system for a printer, wherein the printer includes a print media input, a print media output, and a print media path located between the print media input and the print media output. The print media loading system comprises a print media drive mechanism associated with the print media input, and print media output device associated with the print media output. The print media output device is operatively coupled to the print media drive mechanism so as to control feeding of the print media through the print media path by actuation of the print media output device. The invention also provides a corresponding printing system and a method of loading print media into a printer.

Print media loading system for a printer

A media loading device includes a detachable stiffener that is detachably connected to a leading portion of a soft media and supports the leading portion of the soft media during threading of the soft media through a media path of a printer. A method for loading soft media includes detachably connecting a leading edge of soft media onto a detachable stiffener and placing the detachable stiffener and soft media into a printer. The detachable stiffener and soft media are fed through the media path in the printer.
