A printing system comprises an ink deposition assembly, a media transport device, and an airflow control system. The ink deposition assembly comprises printheads to deposit a print fluid, such as ink, on print media, such as paper, transported through a deposition region. The media transport device holds the print media against a movable support surface, such as a belt, by vacuum suction through holes in the media transport device and transports the print media though the deposition region. The airflow control system comprises one or more valves that are actuatable between an open state and a closed state, each valve blocking a subset of the holes in the closed state. The airflow control system also comprises one or more actuators to actuate the valve(s). The actuator(s) selectively actuate the valve(s) between the open and closed states based on a position of an inter-media zone between adjacent print media.

An ink is provided. The ink includes a quinacridone pigment and an organic solvent having a solubility parameter of from 9.00 to 11.80 in an amount of from 30% to 60% by mass of total mass of the ink. Both a viscosity change rate and a particle diameter change rate of the ink, before and after the ink is heated at 80° C. for 4 weeks in a sealed state, are in the range of from −5% to 1%.

Methods for fabricating three-dimensional objects by 3D-inkjet printing technology are provided. The methods utilize curable materials that polymerize via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) for fabricating the object. Systems suitable for performing these methods and kits containing modeling material formulations usable in the methods are also provided.

A printhead having a number of single-dimensional memristor banks is described. The printhead includes a number of nozzles to deposit an amount of fluid onto a print medium. Each nozzle includes a firing chamber to hold the amount of fluid, an opening to dispense the amount of fluid onto the print medium, and an ejector to eject the amount of fluid through the opening. The printhead also includes a number of single-dimensional memristor banks. Each memristor bank includes a number of memristors arranged in a single dimension and a number of serially-connected de-multiplexers to selectively activate a target memristor of the memristor bank. The number of serially-connected de-multiplexers is equal to the number of memristors and an output of at least one de-multiplexer is an input into a subsequent de-multiplexer.
