Abstract:
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a printing device is described. The printing device includes a print controller with a processor and memory. The print controller generates print instructions. Specifically, the print controller receives print image data representing an image to be printed and identifies enclosed regions in a background print agent plane. The print controller also determines a size of the enclosed regions of background print agent plane and responsive to the size of an enclosed region being smaller than a threshold size, removes the enclosed region from the background print agent plane. The printing device also includes a print agent distribution system to apply the background print agent and the image print agent to a substrate according to the print instructions.
