Abstract: Fluid is continuously recirculated through a thermal fluid-ejection printhead. Prior to firing a thermal resistor of the printhead to thermally eject a drop of the fluid through a nozzle of the printhead, the fluid is recirculated on-demand through a chamber of the printhead between the nozzle and the thermal resistor. The thermal resistor is fired to thermally eject the drop of the fluid through the nozzle. The fluid has a concentration of solids greater than 12% by volume.

Abstract: A printing fluid pen includes a plurality of fluid ports, a pressure regulator in fluid communication with a first fluid port, and a valve in fluid communication with a second fluid port. The first fluid port is to deliver printing fluid to a fluid ejection device, and the second fluid port is to direct printing fluid out of the pen. In response to negative pressure, the valve is to open to enable fluids within the pen to exit via the second port.

Abstract: An example of an inkjet pre-treatment fluid for dye sublimation printing consists of a humectant; a cationic polymer; a surfactant; a co-solvent present in an amount up to about 50 wt % based on a total weight of the inkjet pre-treatment fluid; and a balance of water. In an example of a printing method, the inkjet pre-treatment fluid is inkjet printed onto a textile substrate to form a pre-treated area on the textile substrate.
