Abstract:
Microwave dryers and a method of fabricating microwave dryers are disclosed. The microwave dryers include a microwave source that generates electromagnetic energy to dry a wet colorant applied to a continuous-form print medium. The microwave dryers further include a microwave waveguide electromagnetically coupled to the microwave source that transports the electromagnetic energy between a first end and a second end. The microwave waveguide includes a passageway that is sized to pass the continuous-form print medium through the microwave waveguide. The microwave dryer further includes a plurality of microwave absorbing elements within the microwave waveguide that absorb the electromagnetic energy and heat the wet colorant.

Claim (Index 12):
A printing system, comprising:\n a printer configured to apply a colorant to a medium; and a microwave dryer configured to receive the medium from the printer, the microwave dryer comprising:\n a microwave waveguide that includes a passageway that is sized to pass the medium through the microwave waveguide; and \n a plurality of microwave absorbing elements disposed within the microwave waveguide and proximate to the passageway that are configured to absorb electromagnetic energy, and to heat the colorant in conjunction with the electromagnetic energy.
