Abstract
An electronic printing system comprises a substrate supply for supplying a substrate along a paper path configured in an arc. The substrate is controllably transported through the electronic printing system past a plurality of printheads. The printheads are arranged above the paper path, in an arc configuration corresponding to the paper path configuration. As the substrate passes under each printhead, a printed image is generated on the substrate. A plurality of rollers are arranged to have at least one roller under the substrate at each location corresponding to a printhead location. Finally, a dryer is located after the last of the plurality of printheads for fixing the printed image to the substrate.
