PRINTHEAD TEMPERATURE CONTROL BY DELAYING PRINTING

摘要

Embodiments of delaying printing are disclosed, comprising: a thermal sensor (26); and a thermal management system (20) configured to create a density profile (402) associated with an image, predict a highest expected temperature associated with a printhead (24) using the density profile (402) and the thermal sensor (26), and delay printing the image in response to the highest expected temperature exceeding a threshold.
