Abstract
In one example, a printer includes a paper path having a drying area, a printhead near the paper path upstream from the drying area, and a convection dryer to force air simultaneously into an upstream part of the drying area at a first density and into a downstream part of the drying area at a second density less than the first density and to force air into the upstream part of the drying area at a first air speed for a duration and then at a second air speed faster than the first air speed.
