Stage: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the fluid consumption, in particular the air consumption, during the transport of a sheet- or plate-shaped recording medium so as to increase the print quality of a printing device and/or the efficiency of a transport device.SOLUTION: A transport device is described, which is adapted to transport a recording medium (120) on a transport belt (130) through a printing unit (140). The conveyor belt (130) has a plurality of holes that have a first cross-sectional area towards the recording medium (120). Air is pumped out of the holes by means of a negative pressure unit in order to build up a negative pressure in the holes. In the process, the fluid is pumped over a second cross-sectional area that is smaller than the first cross-sectional area. As a result, relatively high holding forces on the recording medium (120) can be achieved with relatively low fluid consumption.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1a (Grant)
