PRETREATMENT LIQUID APPLICATION DRYING DEVICE, PRINTING SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND PRINTING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pretreatment liquid application drying device capable of preventing the occurrence of cockling without making the device complicated, and improving the operability and safety when setting a recording medium.SOLUTION: The pretreatment liquid application drying device includes: conveying means for conveying a continuous recording medium 10; an application device for applying the pretreatment liquid on the conveyed recording medium 10; a heating drying device including a first drying unit 1A provided with heating rollers 4b, 5b and 6b to dry one side surface of the recording medium 10, and a second drying unit provided with heating rollers 4a, 5a and 6a to dry the other side surface of the recording medium, the first drying unit 1A and the second drying unit being connected in a separable manner to each other; and a cockling suppressing mechanism disposed on at least one of an upstream and a downstream side in a conveying direction of the recording medium 10 near the heating drying device, and curving the heated recording medium 10 plural times in the conveying direction. A part of the cockling suppressing mechanism moves in conjunction with a separating and connecting movement of the heating drying device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
