Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent or reduce the breaking or flaking of phase change ink in folding a print medium having the phase change ink thereon. SOLUTION: A folding system for folding the print medium having the phase change ink thereon has: a media pathway 44 configured to transport a print substrate having the phase change ink thereon, a folding apparatus 40 disposed along the media pathway 44 and configured to fold the print substrate, and a folding heater 38 configured to heat the phase change ink on the print medium up to a folding temperature. The folding temperature is higher than about 25°C and lower than the melting temperature of the phase change ink. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
