WEB FEEDING OF WEAK MEDIA

A printing system (1; 100; 200) comprises a first bearing support (31; 131; 231) for a first media roll (R1) of a first print medium (3) and a second bearing support (32; 132; 232) for a second media roll (R2) of a second print medium (4). Said first and second bearing supports (31, 32; 131, 132; 231, 232) are spaced apart from one another. A first print transport path (P1; P1'; P1'') extends from the first bearing support (31; 131; 132) from the first media roll (R1) to a main transport path (MP; MP'; MP'') of the printing system. A second print transport path (P2; P2'; P2'') extends from the second bearing support (32; 132; 232) to the main transport path (MP; MP'; MP'') of the printing system. An attachment transport (AP; AP'; AP'') path extends between the first and the second bearing support (31, 32; 131, 132; 231, 232). The attachment transport path (AP; AP'; AP'') allows both print media to be brought together and attached to one another. Thereby, a relatively stiffer medium may be attached as a leader section to a relatively weaker medium.
