The mechanics of a web being transported through a set of elastomeric rollers has been investigated. Three general classes of roller materials are identified. These nip materials are then characterized by the speed at which they transport a web, and how that speed changes due to a number of design factors. The issue of media skew is also addressed, and examples are given of how different nip materials will or will not cause skew. Finally, design tradeoffs are discussed for the three classes of materials.
