Abstract (en)

In a hot melt ink jet printer, in which sheets (16) are advanced to a print surface (20) where hot, molten ink is applied onto the sheets, the sheets, immediately before they reach the print surface (20), are heated to a first temperature that is higher than a second temperature which they will assume on the print surface, so as to prevent the sheets from cockling.
