Abstract
In some examples, a first heating stage heats a print medium to a first temperature in a printing region when printing latex ink on the print medium, and a curing heating stage heats, in a curing zone, the print medium to a curing temperature greater than the first temperature to cure the latex ink on the print medium. A cooling stage located between the first and curing heating stages cools the print medium by directing a first part of airflow from the cooling stage to a printing zone, the cooling performed after the print medium has been heated by the first heating stage and prior to heating of the print medium by the curing heating stage. A second part of the airflow is directed from the cooling stage to the curing zone.
