A method and apparatus for re-circulating a carrier in a printer is disclosed. The re-circulating system comprises a controller, a print head, a variable speed fan coupled to an air passageway and a condenser. The controller determines a liquid amount of carrier to be place on a page during a print operation. The controller adjusts the variable speed fan dependent on the amount of liquid carrier determined to be placed onto the page.

Recirculation system

An apparatus for reducing vapor emissions from a printer may include a treatment chamber having an inlet and an outlet. While the printer is operating, vapor-laden air may enter the treatment chamber via the inlet and treated air may exit the treatment chamber via the outlet. While the printer is idle, the inlet and outlet can be sealed to prevent vapors located in the treatment chamber from being emitted to the atmosphere.
