Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for removing an aerosol generated during a printing process. In an example there is disclosed a device which may comprise an air suction device, an air flow baffle, an aerosol absorber, and a droplet filter. The air suction device may draw air away from an area around a printhead nozzle, past the air flow baffle, through the droplet filter, towards the air suction device. The air flow baffle may cause a change in air flow direction such that at least some aerosol droplets contact the aerosol absorber.
