A printable medium support for a printer comprises a support element to support a printable medium, wherein the support element is movable between a protruding configuration to support the printable medium, and a retracted configuration in which the support element is at least partially retracted in a first direction. The printable medium support comprises an actuating element to move the support element between the protruding configuration and the retracted configuration.

An image forming system includes a fluid applicator unit, a substrate positioning unit, and a fluid collector assembly. The fluid collector assembly includes a collector substrate, a collector advancement unit, and a collector control module. The fluid applicator unit may apply fluid to a substrate. The substrate positioning unit may position the substrate in a printzone to receive the fluid from the fluid applicator unit such that a first portion of the fluid remains on the substrate and a second portion of the fluid does not remain on the substrate. The collector substrate may collect the second portion of the fluid in the printzone below the substrate. The collector advancement unit may advance the collector substrate along a collector transport path below the substrate in the printzone. The collector control module may control the collector advancement unit to selectively advance the collector substrate along the collector transport path in response to application of the fluid to the substrate by the fluid applicator unit.

A printing device includes: a base; a printing platform, the printing platform being connected to the base; a printing bracket, the printing bracket being fixed on the base; and a printing head assembly, the printing head assembly being connected to the printing bracket and being arranged above the printing platform, and the printing head assembly including a bearing member, a discharging assembly and an optical assembly. The discharging assembly and the optical assembly are both arranged on the bearing member, the discharging assembly is used for providing printing materials of at least two colors for the printing platform, and the optical assembly is used for curing the printing materials on the printing platform. The printing device can implement three-dimensional color printing.

A recording device includes a recording unit, a support unit, a roller pair downstream of the recording unit and configured to transport the medium, a plurality of regulating members disposed between the recording unit and the roller pair and configured to touch the medium from above, and an inversion path configured to invert front-to-back the medium on which recording was performed and to merge upstream of the recording unit, where a nip point of the roller pair is positioned higher than the support face, a bottom end of each regulating member is disposed at a position for pushing the medium down lower than the nip point of the roller pair and of the plurality of regulating members, the regulating members disposed at both end portion sides in the width direction apply less load on the medium than the regulating member disposed toward a center in the width direction.

A recording apparatus includes a feed portion that feeds a medium, a transport portion that transports the fed medium in a transport direction, a recording portion that performs recording on the medium transported by the transport portion, a support member that includes a support surface that supports the medium on which the recording portion performs recording. The recording apparatus includes a pressing member that presses the medium towards the support member, at a position upstream of the recording position of the recording portion in the transport direction. The pressing member is provided so as to be movable in a direction intersecting the support surface.
