IMMISCIBLE FLUID DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

摘要

An immiscible fluid distribution system applies immiscible fluid to the nozzles of a printhead to at least partly cap unused nozzles during printing. A printer subassembly may comprise an immiscible fluid distribution system to apply an immiscible fluid to the surface of a printhead nozzle plate. A method of capping a printhead may comprise applying a layer of immiscible fluid to nozzles of a printhead and selectively ejecting a fluid from a first subset of nozzles while not ejecting fluid from a second subset of nozzles that are at least partially capped with the immiscible fluid.
