The present invention is embodied in a system and method for implementing spit strips to reduce service station fluid waste, and to improve throughput. The printing system includes a controller, printhead assembly, and a service station assembly, operating to produce an image on a print media. The operations of the system are produced by controlling the direction of a motor. First, a portion of ink in the nozzles that have become dye enriched are determined and then the dye enriched ink is purged on available margins on a periphery of print media outside an area reserved for images.
