    Abstract: A method of recirculating fluid in a printhead die is provided. The method comprises generating ejection data specifying a nozzle of the printhead from which a drop is to be ejected and storing the ejection data in a first memory. Recirculation data is generated for the nozzle for which a recirculation operation is to be performed, and the recirculation data is stored in a second memory different from the first memory. Fluid is recirculated in the nozzle on the basis of the recirculation data in advance of ejecting a drop from the nozzle on the basis of the ejection data. The recirculation data is generated based on the respective ejection data for the nozzle.

    Abstract: In an example, a method includes acquiring, at a processor, a first data model and a second data model. The first data model comprises a representation of at least one property of at least part of a first object and the second data model comprises a representation of at least one property of at least part of a second object. The first and second objects are to be generated in a common additive manufacturing operation. The method may include generating a first print layer model and a second, different, print layer model using the processor by combining at least parts of the first data model and the second data model and generating additive manufacturing instructions based on the first print layer model and the second print layer model.

    Abstract: A printing apparatus is disclosed herein. The apparatus comprises a chassis moveable on a surface through a motion control system, a receiver to receive a signal from a positioning module corresponding to a distance of the printing apparatus with respect to a reference; a printhead to selectively eject an amount of a printing fluid to the surface; and a controller. The controller is to determine the actual location of the printing apparatus with respect to a grid map representative of a part of the surface, the grid map including a plurality of nodal points with its corresponding height values; and to control the motion control system to move the chassis to a first surface location corresponding to a first nodal point of the grid map. The controller is further to obtain a vertical component value with respect to the reference at the surface location; and control the printhead to eject an amount of printing fluid at the surface location in a pattern indicative of an error between the vertical component value and the nodal point height.

    Abstract: In an example, a method comprises receiving a digital representation of a floor plan to be printed by a surface marking robot guided using a remote guiding system, receiving guiding system position information, and receiving obstacle information identifying an obstacle. The method also comprises identifying a specific floor plan feature of the digital representation which intersects a shadow region of the obstacle from a guiding system point of view, and, in response to this, modifying the digital representation to produce a second digital representation, whereby the specific floor plan feature is either deleted or modified in the second digital representation, the modified floor plan feature excluding at least a portion of the specific floor plan feature in the shadow region. The method also comprises operating the surface marking robot to print the second digital representation using the guiding system.
