Abstract
Examples of a platen for a printing device are described. In some examples, the platen may include a spit opening located at a side of the platen. In some examples, the spit opening may include an angled lead-in edge to facilitate travel of print media in the printing device. In some examples, an inside portion of a leading edge of the print media contacts the angled lead-in edge of the spit opening and pulls an outside edge of the print media up as the print media moves across the platen.
