The flow of ink is shown above. The excess ink goes back to the inside of the drum
from the trailing edge of the metal screen.

C267D947.WMF
The adhesive parts [A] are only at the sides of the mylar seal for the metal screen.
They are not attached to the trailing edge. This prevents ink leakage from the
trailing edge.

The leading edge of the mesh on the metal screen is reduced by 2.5 mm [B] from
previous models. This prevents small dots at the leading edge of the paper.
