Abstract: A method of manufacturing a three-dimensional object compensates for different rates of shrinkage during curing of dissimilar materials. The compensation is achieved by ejecting the different materials with reference to the shrinkage rates of the materials to enable the materials to be at approximately a same height following curing of the materials.

Abstract: An aqueous inkjet printer includes a media conveyor having an endless belt to which media sheets adhere. The endless belt is entrained around a transfer roller and a roller. The transfer roller forms a nip with an image member in the printer and the media sheets on the endless belt pass through the nip to transfer images from the image member to the media sheets. After the media sheets exit the nip, they follow the endless belt to the roller where the radius of the roller enables a force to be applied perpendicularly to the media sheets to separate the media sheets from the endless belt.

Abstract: An inkjet printer uses ink supply containers that includes bladders for holding waste fluids produced by printhead maintenance stations. The bladders are connected serially or in parallel to the output ports of the printhead maintenance stations to store waste fluids within the bladders of the ink supply containers. As the ink supply containers are depleted of their supply ink, they are replaced and new ink supply containers having bladders within them are installed to renew the capacity of the printer to store waste fluids. In two embodiments, the need for a waste fluid reservoir is eliminated and in a third embodiment, the operational life of a waste fluid reservoir is extended. In all of these embodiments, the production of plastic waste by the printer is reduced.

Abstract: An MFD is disclosed. For example, the MFD includes a printhead to dispense print material, an enhancement printhead to dispense an enhancement printing fluid, a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions. The instructions when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations that include determining that an automated enhancement feature was selected, analyzing each pixel of an image to be printed to determine one or more pixels that are to receive the enhancement printing fluid, controlling the printhead to print the image, and controlling the enhancement printhead to dispense the enhancement printing fluid on the one or more pixels that are to receive the enhancement printing fluid.

Abstract: A printer includes a first printhead operatively connected to a source of ultraviolet (UV) curable ink having a first color, a first source of UV radiation following the first printhead in the process direction by a first predetermined distance, a second printhead operatively connected to the source of UV curable ink having the first color, and a second source of UV radiation following the second printhead in the process direction by a second predetermined distance that is greater than the firsts predetermined distance. The first predetermined distance enables the first source of UV radiation to fix the UV curable ink ejected by the first printhead before passing the second printhead and the second predetermined distance enables the ink ejected by the second printhead to flow over a portion of the substrate before the second source of UV radiation fixes the UV curable ink ejected by the second printhead.
