Abstract: A printer and transport assembly (10) comprises a transport conveyor (16) for receiving individual blanks (12) and continuously conveying the blanks (12) in a downstream direction. A digital high speed printer (22) is positioned directly above the transport conveyor (16) downstream from where the blanks (12) are received on the transport conveyor (16) for printing high quality indicia on the dividual blanks as they are continuously conveyed downstream. A blank drying (28) arrangement receives printed blanks from the transport conveyor (16) and moves the blanks (12) in spaced relationship over a course of travel of sufficient length so as to sufficiently dry the printed indicia on the blanks (12). Ultimately, the dried printed blanks may be collected in a stack. Packaging, greeting cards, stickers, labels and coupons, for example, may be printed with the printer and transport assembly (10).
