Abstract
An image formation device includes a support to support movement of a substrate along a travel path, a fluid ejection device, and a belt. The fluid ejection device is located along the travel path to deposit droplets of ink particles within a liquid carrier onto the substrate to at least partially form an image on the substrate. The belt is a flexible belt located downstream along the travel path from the fluid ejection device and includes a contact portion to arcuately conform relative to, and be in movable contact against, a first arcuate portion of the substrate to at least partially remove the liquid carrier from the substrate.
