Heat Sink Cooling System on the Sharp BP-1200S

In this video, Stu explains the heat sink component on the Sharp BP-1200S 6-color production printing system and clarifies its role in improving output quality after the fusing process. While it may appear similar to an imaging belt at first glance, the heat sink serves a different function in post-fusion media handling.

Stu demonstrates how the system draws heat out of the paper as it exits the fuser, helping reduce curl and stabilize the sheet for downstream processing. He also notes that this cooling stage contributes to reducing static buildup, supporting smoother handling and more reliable finishing performance.
