Abstract Disclosed herein is a uniform heat flux dryer system and method for an ink jet printer (10), including a 180° contoured paper transport path (30) for transferring paper (58) from an input paper supply tray (12) to an output paper collection tray (14). During this transfer, the paper receives a uniform heat flux from an infrared bulb (40) which is located at the axis of symmetry for the paper transport path, and reflectors (32,34) are positioned on each side of the infrared bulb (40) to maximize heat transmission from the bulb (40) to the paper (16) during the ink drying process. Advantageously, the input and output paper trays (12,14) may be vertically aligned on one side of the printer (10) to facilitate loading and unloading of the paper.
