Abstract
A printer includes a convex printing bed that is configured to hold a medium. A printer carriage is operable to swipe back and forth across the medium along a linear axis. A set of printing heads jet ink on the medium. The set of printing heads is secured to and moved along the linear axis by the carriage. At least two rails support the print carriage and to guide the print carriage along the linear axis as the carriage swipes back and forth across the medium. The shape of the convex bed generates tension across the medium such that an increase in width of the medium, due to swelling of the medium when printed, is pulled to the sides by the shape of the convex bed to limit creasing and bulging of the medium.
