Abstract: A system includes a carrier, one or more printheads coupled with the carrier in a defined spatial relation, and alignment information associated with the carrier and identifying the defined spatial relation of one or more printheads.

Abstract: A printing system includes an ink reservoir, a support, a fluid conduit and a printhead assembly. The fluid conduit is fluidly coupled to the ink reservoir and includes a first fluid coupler. The printhead assembly includes a body configured to be releasably coupled to the support, a plurality of printheads coupled to the body including a first printhead and a second printhead, and a fluid passage fluidly coupled to both the first printhead and the second printhead. The fluid passage includes a second fluid coupler releasably coupled to the first fluid coupler.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and systems for monitoring a production line for non-printing events, and responsive to detecting an event, ascertaining whether an operation can be effected with an inkjet printer stationed along the production line.

Abstract: A system for servicing a non-scanning printhead includes a servicing plate, a servicing component mounted on the servicing plate and adapted to service the non-scanning printhead, and a drive system adapted to move the servicing plate between a storage position and a service position such that the servicing component is spaced from the non-scanning printhead when the servicing plate is in the storage position and the servicing component is adapted to service the non-scanning printhead when the servicing plate is in the service position.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for printhead adjustment. In one apparatus embodiment, the apparatus includes an image scanning mechanism and a controller. The image scanning mechanism can provide positioning data about the position of drops of ink ejected onto media from nozzles of a number of stationary printheads. The controller can determine a Y axis offset of at least two ink drops based on the positioning data.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and arrangements enable a modular and/or adaptable ink supply system for printing devices. In certain implementations base ink containers having ink couplings are designed for use individually or grouped together with a carrier. Ink cartridges of various sizes and purposes may therefore be manufactured and operationally employed utilizing one or more substantially identical base ink containers. In certain (alternative but non-exhaustive) implementations, a carrier may include a lid that serves to aid retention of the base ink containers against the carrier and/or to facilitate the use of the ink couplings of the base ink containers. Additionally, an ink cartridge, with one or multiple base ink containers, may optionally employ a single memory chip apparatus for utilization of intelligent printing functions. Those ink cartridges with multiple base ink containers may hold a single hue of ink or multiple different hues of ink.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a replaceable printing component for use in a selected printing system. The replaceable printing component includes an electrical storage device configured for storing a data value and an identifier value. The identifier value is derived by encrypting the data value using an encryption process. Upon installation of the replaceable printing component into the selected printing system the selected printing system processes the data value using the encryption process to obtain an encrypted value. The encrypted value is identical to the identifier value if the replaceable printing component is a verified replaceable printing component.

Abstract: An inkjet printing system for printing on a print medium having a top-of-form (TOF) indicator includes a printhead assembly, a top-of-form (TOF) detector adapted to detect the TOF indicator, a positional sensor adapted to sense a relative position of the print medium to the printhead assembly, and a controller associated with the printhead assembly, the TOF detector, and the positional sensor. The printhead assembly includes a first printhead subarray and a second printhead subarray offset from the first printhead subarray such that the controller is configured to initiate operation of the first printhead subarray after the TOF detector detects the TOF indicator and initiate operation of the second printhead subarray at a predetermined interval after the TOF detector detects the TOF indicator. As such, the predetermined interval is related to the relative position of the print medium.
