Holder Attached Via Element (e.g., Band) Gripping Platen Periphery Patents (Class 400/530)
  • Print substrate edge guide
    Patent number: 9028160
    Abstract: In one example, a device for use in a printer includes a flexible piece and a holder configured to removably attach the piece to a platen that has a surface over which a print substrate is moved through the print zone for printing on the substrate. The piece and the holder are configured to place the piece in tension along the platen surface such that, when the piece is attached to the platen, the piece becomes sufficiently rigid to counter substrate edge curl.
