The invention provides a dryer for a printer such as a print on demand wallpaper
printer. The dryer has a compartment with an opening across the top. The opening
is in a path of a moving media web which is printed on by the printer. The opening
is optionally covered by a door. A source of heated air is located above the opening
and blows heated air downwardly onto the door, or the opening if the door is open.
In general, the door covers the opening and acts to support the web when the door
is closed. When the door is open, the moving web can enter the compartment.
