A vertical carousel padding system and method to create an adhesive retail signage pack based on aisles and aisle groupings where the adhesive is applied along the long edge of the stack to make a solid pack that allows for the operator at the store to remove one sign at a time. This system creates a unique and novel system that can accept stacks of varying heights and apply a padded layer of adhesive to the stacks as the clamped stacks move orthogonally around the carousel motion to the glue roller application station. By gripping and then incrementing the stacks in a vertical carousel configuration, the correct edge of the stack can have the adhesive applied to it while the stack height (i.e., size based on the number of signs in the stack) does not require the gluer to adjust to the stack height.

An electrode transfer table includes: a base plate; a support portion configured to protrude from the base plate in a vertical direction; and a sheet seating portion configured to protrude from an end of the support portion in a direction facing the base plate and on which an electrode sheet for forming a pair of electrodes may be arranged, wherein the sheet seating portion may include: a first sheet seating portion on which a first electrode of the electrode sheet may be seated; and a second sheet seating portion spaced apart from the first sheet seating portion with a gap therebetween and on which a second electrode of the electrode sheet may be seated.

An inkjet printer has an image dryer that moves printed media sheets vertically through the dryer from an entrance to the image dryer to an exit from the image dryer that is higher than the entrance. The vertical configuration of the image dryer enables the inkjet printer to increase the dwell time of the printed sheets in the image dryer without increasing a footprint of the inkjet printer.
