Abstract
An inkjet printer includes a dryer configured to attenuate the effects of temperature differentials arising in substrates that are caused by holes in a media transport belt and a platen covering a vacuum plenum. The dryer includes a platen, a heater configured to direct heat toward the platen, at least one media transport belt configured to slide over the platen to move the substrates past the heater after the ink images have been formed on the substrates, and at least one belt diversion component configured to divert the at least one media belt from a straight-line path over the platen.
