In an example a method comprises operating, by a processor, on a first quantity that is proportional to a side of a parallelogram printed, at least in part, on a substrate by a fluidic die, the side of the parallelogram being substantially perpendicular to the direction of advancement of the substrate. The method further comprises operating, by a processor, on a second quantity and a third quantity, the second and third quantities respectively being proportional to the length of the lines bisecting the parallelogram. The method comprises calculating, by a processor, an angle that the fluidic die makes with the direction of advancement of the substrate based on the first, second, and third quantities.

Fluidic dies

A print apparatus calibration method is disclosed. The method comprises printing, from each of a plurality of dies of a print head onto a printable substrate, an image in a first color according to a calibration pattern and an image in a second color according to the calibration pattern, the calibration pattern comprising a plurality of patches having a plurality of different densities. The method may comprise scanning, using a scanning unit, the images formed on the printable substrate to generate scanned image data, wherein the images in the first color are scanned by a first scanning module of the scanning unit and the images in the second color are scanned by a second scanning module of the scanning unit. The method may comprise analyzing, using processing apparatus, the scanned image data to identify any differences between printed densities of corresponding patches in different images of the same color. The method may comprise performing a calibration based on the analysis. A print apparatus and a machine-readable medium are also disclosed.
