Examples include a method for mitigating decap in a printing system that comprises nozzles, in which printing data associated to a graphical representation and that comprise pixel data points are received. Some data points are associated with a corresponding nozzle and a corresponding direction of movement and at least one specific data point is associated with a specific direction of movement and a specific nozzle which has a decap time below a first predetermined threshold. The received printing data is modified by displacing the printing data of the specific data point in a direction opposite to the specific direction of movement in order to compensate for the decap time.
