    摘要: 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.

    摘要: In an example, a method for compensating a misalignment introduced by a printing process comprises printing a plurality of first symbols onto a print media with a first printing liquid at spaced-apart locations on the print media, printing a plurality of second symbols onto the print media with a second printing liquid such that each second symbol overlaps a corresponding first symbol by a different symbol offset amount, identifying a first symbol and the corresponding second symbol, and the respective symbol offset amount, that represent a correct alignment between the plurality of first symbols and the plurality of second symbols, and adjusting a print parameter according to the identified symbol offset amount.

    摘要: An example of a system for selecting print mode configurations is disclosed. The example disclosed herein comprises an array of nozzles to eject ink, and a controller. The controller is to instruct the array of nozzles to print a plurality of color patches, each color patch being printed using different nozzle setting values. Also, the controller is to receive a sensor signal from each color patch from a color sensor. The controller is further to derive color saturation and/or density measurement information from the sensor signals; and to select a print mode configuration based on the color saturation and/or density measurement information.
