Abstract (en)

A system (14) for decurling a sheet (20) which is being advanced in a predetermined path within a printing machine (15) is described. The decurling system (14) includes a mechanism (16) for generating a flow of room ambient air. The decurling system (14) further includes a mechanism (16) for directing the flow of room ambient air onto the sheet (20). Moreover, the decurling system (14) includes a decurler (18) adapted to apply mechanical force to the sheet (20) after the flow of room ambient air has been directed onto the sheet (20) by the directing mechanism (16). <IMAGE>
