Zusammenfassung:	A solid ink printer comprises a melt plate (20) configured to melt solid ink. A heater (18) is connected to the melt plate in order to raise the temperature of the melt plate. The temperature of the melt plate is detected by a temperature sensor (40) that is provided away from the surface of the melt plate but is configured to sense the temperature of the melt plate. A mount (50) is positioned on the melt plate between the temperature sensor and the melt plate. The mount comprises a mica layer and at least one polyimide film layer. The mount is arranged on the melt plate such that the mica layer of the mount may be adjacent to the melt plate and the polyimide film layer may be adjacent to the temperature sensor. A pressure sensitive adhesive may be used to connect the mount to the melt plate.
