    Abstract: A system (300) is provided having a printer (4) to print printing liquid onto a web (6) of media (8). The system (300) has a winding roller (10) on which to roll the web (6) of media (8) after printing. A tensioner (12) to vary the tension in a portion (14) of the web (6) of media (8) is also provided. The portion (14) is a portion of web which is being rolled onto the winding roller (10). Also provided is controller (16) to control the tensioner (12) to vary the tension based on the time taken for the printed printing liquid on the web (6) of media (8) to dry.

    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to servicing printing systems, wherein the system comprises a controller to: instruct an ejection of printing fluid from each of the nozzles within a printhead; detect, by a drop detector, drops ejected from each nozzle; determine by the controller a drop time for each nozzle, being the drop time determined between the instruction of the ejection of printing fluid from each of the nozzles until the drops ejected by each of the nozzles reaches the drop detector; and determine a nozzle health parameter in view of each nozzle drop time; wherein the method comprises comparing each nozzle health parameter with a threshold value and instructing, by the controller, a servicing operation if the nozzle health parameter is outside a threshold range.

    Abstract: A printing device includes a supply roller on which a roll of substrate is wound, and a tension motor to apply a tension to the roll of substrate. The printing device includes a drive roller to advance the substrate from the roll through a print zone, a drive roller motor to rotate the drive roller, and a drive roller motor controller to apply a drive roller motor signal to the drive roller motor. The printing device includes a closed loop tension controller to adjust the tension applied by the tension motor to the roll of substrate based on the drive roller motor signal applied to the drive roller motor.

    Abstract: In example implementations, a method, a device, and a program are provided. The method includes detecting a power increase movement of a printer carriage. A location of the printer carriage is detected at a time of the detected power increase. Based on the detected location of the printer carriage, determine whether the print medium is damaged. The device includes a power monitor to detect a power increase during movement of a printer carriage. A locator detects a location of the printer carriage at the time of the detected power increase. A damage determiner determines, based on the detected location of the printer carriage, whether the print medium is damaged. The program detects a power increase during movement of a printer carriage. Location of printer carriage is detected at time of detected power increase. Based on detected location of the printer carriage, it is determined whether the print medium is damaged.
