    Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating the condition of a print nozzle are described. In one example, impedances across the print nozzle are measured. Subsequently, first test result and second test result are determined and registered at a first predetermined time instant and at a second predetermined time instant, respectively. The first test result and the second test result are obtained based on the measured impedances. Based on the first test result and the second test result, the condition of the print nozzle, is determined.

    Abstract: In some examples, a method of regulating a temperature of a printhead includes charging, in a first state of a temperature regulator, an analog memory to a reference voltage that corresponds to a predetermined temperature of the printhead. The temperature regulator monitors, during a second state, the temperature of the printhead, the monitoring including measuring a thermal voltage representing an actual temperature of at least a first local area of a plurality of local areas of the printhead, and comparing, with a comparator, the reference voltage to the thermal voltage to obtain a comparison result for at least the first local area. Based on the comparison result, a series of warming pulses from a warming pulse circuit to at least the first local area is selectively enabled.
