Abstract
The effects of receiver stock and platen covering on pressure in a the rmal printer nip were investigated using the nonlinear finite element method. ''Design of experiment'' techniques were used to reduce comput ational effort. Pressure in the nip is shown to be dominated by receiv er thickness and stiffness. Examples of pressure versus head load are given and the relationship between these important variables discussed .
