    Abstract: A differential pressure sensor is used for measuring or identifying a pressure difference, for example to determine a movement or speed of fluid in a fluid conduit or printer re-circulation conduit. The differential pressure sensor determines the difference between an air pressure and a fluid pressure, wherein the fluid is moving in a flow channel. The flow channel includes a surface conveying a fluid between a first port and second port. An opening in the surface of the flow channel provides a fluid communication between the differential pressure sensor and fluid. Moreover, the sensor is arranged in air communication with the pressure box, such as to allow the differential pressure sensor to identify the pressure difference between the air pressure in the pressure box and the fluid pressure in the flow channel.

    Abstract: A printing fluid delivery system includes a reservoir, a conduit system, and a first heating module. The reservoir may store printing fluid. The conduit system may include a plurality of conduit segments to transport the printing fluid between the reservoir and the printing fluid applicator. The first healing module may selectively heat one conduit segment to increase a temperature of the printing fluid therein to a first temperature which is greater than a second temperature of the printing fluid in an other conduit segment and to thermally induce recirculation of the printing fluid.

    Abstract: In an example, a printer controller is coupled to a fluid pump, a primer pump, and a pressure sensor of a printer, wherein a flow channel provides a fluid communication between the fluid pump and the printhead for enabling fluid recirculation in the printer. The printer controller: activates the fluid pump; activates the primer pump for a first predefined time interval; and identifies or determines a movement of fluid in the flow channel based on the fluid pressure measured by the pressure sensor.

    Abstract: A printing apparatus, a printing system and a method are disclosed. The method of moving printing fluid within a printing apparatus includes selectively providing a first pressure difference between a first reservoir and a second reservoir by a differential pressure system to cause the printing fluid to move from the first reservoir through a printing fluid applicator to the second reservoir. The method also includes selectively providing a second pressure difference between the first reservoir and the second reservoir by the different pressure system to cause the printing fluid to move from the second reservoir through the printing fluid applicator to the first reservoir.
