Abstract

This paper describes the design of media for a new multihead printer system for dye diffusion thermal transfer. The media features include a dye donor that was redesigned with a new support thickness for increased efficiency and a new component load specifically designed for this system to deliver printing in the multihead configuration. In addition, a roll fed receiver was configured to give prints without paper curl in the final print. Curve shape and incubation results are discussed.
