Abstract
Printer having a sheet feed and drum transport assembly, an exit assembly and at least one dryer. Various print parameters or conditions are monitored relating to the drying of the ink on print media. These print parameters include print data density, ink characteristics and ambient humidity. The monitored print parameters are used to control the drying. In addition the monitored print parameters are used to control the detaching of the print media from a rotary transport. In this manner, the printer approaches an optimization of the drying and detaching function with respect to time and energy.
