Abstract: A system (10) having a printing position and a non-printing position, the system (10) includes an image forming station (60) and a wiping assembly (200, 400). The image forming station (60) including at least a nozzle plate (61) having one or more nozzles (166, 166a, 166b, 166c), which are configured to apply droplets of a printing fluid onto a surface of one or more substrates (44) for producing one or more images thereon. The wiping assembly (200, 400) is at least partially positioned in a gap (141) between the nozzle plate (61) and the one or more substrates (44), and is configured, while the system (10) is in the printing position, to (i) make physical contact with the nozzle plate (61) and (ii) remove residues of the printing fluid from at least one of the nozzles (166, 166a, 166b, 166c).

Abstract: An image forming system includes a segregation tank to store a first imaging oil having a first percent purity, a reservoir to store a second imaging oil having a second percent purity, a slope identification module to identify a first slope value, and a slope comparison module to determine whether the first slope value is at least one of equal to, greater than, and less than a threshold slope value within a threshold slope range. The image forming system also includes a ratio adjustment module to obtain a variable ratio value corresponding to a ratio of a first amount of the first imaging oil to a second amount of the second imaging oil based on a determination by the slope comparison module.
