A system, method, and apparatus for adjusting dry ink concentration in a developing station ( 30 ) of a printer is disclosed. The adjustment is performed by calculating the thermal drift of a dry ink monitor ( 40 ) and applying the result as a compensating factor in calculations in a software algorithm. The dry ink monitor ( 40 ) has a sensing port ( 42 ) in contact with a dry ink concentration and is connected to a dry ink monitor interface board ( 10 ) that houses a temperature sensor ( 20 ). The monitor interface board ( 10 ) is positioned in proximity to the dry ink monitor ( 40 ) to enable the temperature sensor ( 20 ) to measure a temperature of the dry ink concentration. The software algorithm is used to adjust the dry ink concentration based on a slope coefficient calculated by the printer based on outputs from the dry ink monitor ( 40 ) and the dry ink monitor interface board ( 10 ).
