Abstract
A table for a flatbed printer comprises an upper plate () and a lower plate () separated by an intermediate layer (). The intermediate layer is configured to provide a fluid flow path () that promotes a flow of fluid alternating between a position adjacent the upper plate and a position adjacent the lower plate, so as to promote heat transfer between the upper plate and the lower plate. The fluid flow path may be formed using a plurality of holes () in the intermediate layer. A method of manufacturing the printer table is also described.
