Abstract: A printing method is disclosed, in which a fixing liquid is applied to a print medium both to first regions of the print medium that are to be printed and to second regions of the print medium that are not to be printed. A printing liquid is also applied to the print medium at the first regions of the print medium. The fixing liquid applied to the second regions of the print medium protects the second regions of the print medium from aerosol droplets generated when applying the printing liquid to the first regions of the print medium.

Abstract: In an example, a print system identifies a number of drops to eject corresponding to an expected variation in print fluid based on media temperature and generate print instructions to operate a fluid eject device to that effect. In another example, a print system includes a temperature engine to identify a temperature, a compensator engine to identify a number of drops of print fluid based on the media temperature, and a control engine to generate print instructions to operate a fluid ejection device to place the number of drops of print fluid on media.

Abstract: A method is described in which a sequence of print orders is determined. The sequence is to be associated to print elements to be generated by ejecting printing material from nozzles. The method comprises controlling the generation of the print elements by ejecting printing material from the nozzles according to the determined sequence.

Abstract: Herein is described a method of inkijet printing, and compositions and inksets for use in the method, the method comprising: printing onto a non-porous substrate an inkjet fixing composition comprising a cationic polymer in an amount of less than 5 wt. %; an organic acid in an amount of 3 wt. % or less; and a liquid vehicle; and printing a latex-containing inkjet ink composition onto the non-porous substrate.

Abstract: A printing method and system include a printhead configured to eject a fixer fluid. A controller is operatively connected to the printhead and configured to control the printhead so as to apply the fixer fluid to a print area in a pattern to form cells having a predetermined area without the fixer fluid.

Abstract: Operations of printing systems are disclosed. According to examples, a deposition sequence for depositing printing fluids onto a substrate location is dynamically controlled. Sub-groups of nozzles in nozzle arrays are selected according to the deposition sequence.

Abstract: Methods performed by a printing system are described herein. A portion of a print area is located by operating an optical sensor to respond to a color shift. The color shift is from a printed reference color. The color shift is caused by a fixer fluid applied to the portion. Printing systems and tangible machine readable storage mediums are also described herein.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling a printing device are described. In examples, a printing device has a first printhead interface, a first printhead for use in applying a treatment fluid to a print medium and a second printhead interface, a second printhead for use in applying ink to the print medium. The first and second printhead interfaces are consecutively aligned along a common axis and each printhead has a plurality of nozzles that extend in a direction of relative movement of the print medium in relation to said printheads. An example apparatus then has a controller arranged to, when the printheads are installed, configure activation of nozzles of at least one of the first and second printheads in the direction of relative movement to spatially offset useable nozzles of the first printhead with respect to useable nozzles of the second printhead in said direction.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to deposition of print treatments. In an example, treatment is to be deposited on substrate dot locations to receive ink according to selected treatment-to-ink regimes. The selected treatment-to-ink regimes include a variable treatment-to-ink regime and a constant treatment-to-ink regime. The variable treatment-to-ink regime is for depositing a variable amount of treatment dependent on the amount of ink to be deposited in a substrate dot location when the ink amount in the substrate dot location is below a threshold. The constant treatment-to-ink regime is for depositing a selected constant amount of treatment in a substrate dot location and an area surrounding the substrate dot location when the ink amount in the substrate dot location is above the threshold. Other examples are illustrated herein.

Abstract: Methods performed by printing systems (10) are described herein. An ink printhead (38, 40, 42, 44) and a treatment printhead (46, 48) traverse over a print area (84) in a forward direction (50) and a backward direction (52). In one of the forward direction or the backward direction the treatment printhead trails behind the ink printhead. In the other direction the treatment printhead leads before the ink printhead. The treatment printhead ejects treatment fluid for treating the print area depending on the traversing direction. Printing systems (10) and tangible machine readable storage media (64) are also described herein.
