Abstract
An apparatus includes a printer and a laminator operating in line with said printer, and a feeding device arranged along the media path between the printer and the laminator for feeding to the laminator the media that is outputted from the printer. The feeding device includes an arrangement to cause media advance by friction, such as belts, and an arrangement for generating an air stream, such as fans, arranged facing each other such that the fans urge the media against the belts and the latter drive the media by friction. The media can be fed to the laminator with the correct angle and without skew.
