Abstract
In an electrostatic printer (1) paper (11) is first conditioned by being thoroughly dried by rollers (13 and 15), which also immobilize the paper so that it does not wrinkle. The paper is then kept hot on flat plate 17 before it moves into the transfer nip of intermediate transfer drum (5) and transfer roller (7). The paper does not wrinkle on the plate and toner image is transferred to a wide range of papers with exceptional quality and consistency.
