Abstract: Devices and processes include/use an inkjet printhead, a sheet transport positioned to move sheets of media past the inkjet printhead, a sheet registration device positioned to align the sheets of media, and a controller electrically connected to the inkjet printhead and the sheet registration device. The controller is adapted to periodically control the sheet registration device to align a first sacrificial sheet with a first edge of the sheet transport and align a second sacrificial sheet with a second edge of the sheet transport and that is opposite the first edge. The controller is adapted to control the inkjet printhead to eject ink from a first set of nozzles to the first sacrificial sheet and eject ink from a second set of nozzles to the second sacrificial sheet. The first set of nozzles contains different nozzles from the second set of nozzles.

Abstract: A cap is positioned to contact a printhead when the printhead is not ejecting liquid ink onto print media. A dispenser dispenses an ink stabilizing material into the cap. A blocking structure is positioned in the cap to contact vent openings of the inkjet printhead when the inkjet printhead is in the cap and is in a location to submerge the nozzles in the ink stabilizing material in the cap. An ink control device draws the ink stabilizing material into nozzles of the inkjet printhead when the vent openings are blocked by the blocking structure. The ink control device subsequently draws the ink stabilizing material into the vent openings when the vent openings are separated from the blocking structure.
