  • Patent number: 10377130
    Abstract: According to an example, in a method for mitigating damage to a plurality of drop generators in a printing system, data corresponding to an image to be printed on a media by the printing system may be accessed. In addition, the plurality of drop generators may be controlled to print the image on the media while mitigating damage to the plurality of drop generators and without shifting placement of the image on the media or shifting the plurality of drop generators in a direction perpendicular to a feed direction of the media.

  • Patent number: 10160210
    Abstract: In an example, a non-transitory processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions that when executed by a processor cause a printing system to determine a text and line print mode or a graphics print mode to use for printing upcoming image content. The printing system selects a first nozzle column to print the image content when the text and line print mode is determined, and selects a second nozzle column to print the image content when the graphics print mode is determined.

  • Patent number: 9682587
    Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to fabric print media and a method of coating a fabric substrate to form a fabric print medium. The fabric print medium can comprise a fabric substrate, a primer layer applied to the fabric substrate, and an ink-receiving layer applied to the primer layer. The primer layer can include a film-forming polymer and a phosphorus- or nitrogen-containing compound. The ink-receiving layer can comprise a phosphorus- or nitrogen-containing compound, a cationic metal complex, and non-deformable particles.

  • Patent number: 9005724
    Abstract: A composition includes a mixture of a first polymer and a second polymer. The first polymer is selected from the group consisting of a polymer including ethylene residues and vinyl alcohol residues and a polymer including vinyl alcohol residues. The second polymer includes ethylene residues, vinyl acetate residues and maleic anhydride residues. An amount of the first polymer in the mixture is about 50% to about 95% by weight. An ink-printable composition includes the above composition as an ink-receiving material.

  • Patent number: 8993078
    Abstract: A composition includes a mixture including a first polymer and a second polymer. The first polymer includes methyl acrylate or ethyl acrylate residues in an amount of about 15% to about 25% by weight of the first polymer, maleic anhydride residues in an amount of about 2% to about 3.5% by weight of the first polymer, and ethylene residues. The second polymer includes butyl acrylate residues in an amount of about 5% to about 10% by weight of the second polymer, maleic anhydride residues in an amount of about 3% to about 4% by weight of the second polymer, and ethylene residues. An amount of the first polymer in the mixture is about 60% to about 90% by weight. The mixture may further include a pigment-LDPE composition wherein the amount of the first polymer in the mixture is about 50% to about 70% by weight.
