An inkjet printer includes a nebulizer to generate a mist of primer and direct the mist onto media passing the nebulizer before the media is printed. A piezoelectric transducer is immersed in a primer solution and provided an alternating current to produce the mist. A pressure source directs the mist toward the passing media to apply the primer to the media.

A liquid discharge head includes a nozzle plate having multiple nozzles to discharge a liquid in a discharge direction and multiple suction holes to suck gas in a suction direction opposite to the discharge direction.

A three-dimensional object printing apparatus includes a liquid ejection head that has a plurality of nozzles ejecting a liquid toward a workpiece, a multi-joint robot that has a tip end portion supporting the liquid ejection head and causes the liquid ejection head to scan with respect to the workpiece, and a control portion that creates a printing path along which the liquid ejection head is scanned, in which the control portion generates smoothing data by performing smoothing processing on workpiece data indicating a shape of a printing surface, which is a surface of the workpiece to be printed, and creates the printing path based on the smoothing data.

Provided herein are systems and methods for storing digital information by assembling an identifier nucleic acid molecule from at least a first component nucleic acid molecule and a second component nucleic acid molecule. The system may include a first printhead configured to dispense a first droplet of a first solution comprising the first component nucleic acid molecule onto a coordinate on a substrate, and a second printhead configured to dispense a second droplet of a second solution comprising the second component nucleic acid molecule onto the coordinate on the substrate, such that the first and second component nucleic acid molecules are collocated on the substrate. The system may include a finisher that dispenses a reaction mix onto the coordinate on the substrate to physically link the first and second component nucleic acid molecules, provides a condition necessary to physically link the first and second component nucleic acid molecules, or both.

A printing apparatus is disclosed herein. The apparatus comprises a chassis moveable on a surface through a motion control system, a receiver to receive a signal from a positioning module corresponding to a distance of the printing apparatus with respect to a reference; a printhead to selectively eject an amount of a printing fluid to the surface; and a controller. The controller is to determine the actual location of the printing apparatus with respect to a grid map representative of a part of the surface, the grid map including a plurality of nodal points with its corresponding height values; and to control the motion control system to move the chassis to a first surface location corresponding to a first nodal point of the grid map. The controller is further to obtain a vertical component value with respect to the reference at the surface location; and control the printhead to eject an amount of printing fluid at the surface location in a pattern indicative of an error between the vertical component value and the nodal point height.
