Printers, methods, and apparatus to reduce aerosol are disclosed. An example apparatus to reduce aerosol includes a print head to generate droplets and aerosol, and to direct the droplets toward a print substrate, a first corona wire to generate first ions having a first electrical polarity to direct the aerosol toward the print substrate, and a second corona wire to generate second ions to direct the aerosol toward the print substrate, wherein the second ions have a second electrical polarity that is opposite the first electrical polarity.

An ink composition has controlled conductivity, and a digital printing system and a method of printing an ink employ an offset inkjet printing platform. The ink composition includes pigment particles dispersed in an oil-based dielectric carrier fluid with an oil-soluble dispersant. A concentration of dispersant is a fraction of a concentration of the pigment particles sufficient to render an electrical conductivity of the ink composition less than 100 pico Siemens per centimeter (pS/cm). The printing system includes an ink having an electrical conductivity less than or equal to about 300 pS/cm, an inkjet print head, a transfer medium, a developer, a remover and an image transferer. In the method of printing, the ink is nonelectrostatically jetted to the transfer medium, and developed into a fixed image. A portion of a supernatant is removed from the fixed image, and the fixed image is transferred to a media substrate.

A method of cleaning an image transfer blanket of an image forming apparatus is disclosed. The method includes establishing a temperature of a cleaner roller having a cleaner receiving surface to receive a cleaner layer in a first predetermined temperature range. The method also includes placing the cleaner layer disposed on the cleaner receiving surface in contact with the image transfer blanket and removing surface contaminants from the image transfer blanket to the cleaner layer.

Hard imaging devices and hard imaging device operational methods are described. According to one arrangement, a hard imaging device includes a pen adjacent to a first location of a media path and configured to eject a plurality of droplets of a liquid marking agent in a direction towards the media moving along the media path to form hard images using the media, the ejection of the droplets of the liquid marking agent from the pen creating aerosol droplets of the liquid marking agent, and a gas injection system adjacent to a second location of the media path which is downstream from the first location with respect to a direction of movement of the media along the media path, and wherein the gas injection system is configured to inject a gas towards the media.
