Zusammenfassung:A dryer for photosensitive material using both convection and conduction is disclosed having a bank of rollers aligned in coplanar axes on each side of the material path. The rollers are roughened to provide a plurality of surfaces for removing surface moisture from the material being dried. A plenum is arranged on each side of said material path to define a plurality of slots that direct heated and pressurized air against the rollers in a tangential plane to heat and dry the leading circumference of each of the rollers just before it contacts the material. The dryer also contains a plurality of floating finger guides immediately adjacent said rollers for removing any material being transported which may attempt to adhere to the rollers.
