Certain examples relate to controlling recirculation processes in a printing apparatus. An example printing material cartridge includes a reservoir storing printing material to supply a printing apparatus; memory; and instructions for controlling a recirculation process in the printing apparatus, the instructions stored in the memory, the recirculation process to cause the printing material to move between the reservoir and a second printing material cartridge, the second printing material cartridge separately replaceable from the printing material cartridge in the printing apparatus.

Printer recirculation control

Certain examples relate to mixing and/or supply cartridges for printing apparatus. One example implementation includes a reservoir to receive printing material from a printing apparatus and to return the received printing material to the printing apparatus. A storage medium stores a reservoir printing material level parameter indicative of the amount of printing material in the reservoir; a recirculation cycle counter indicative of the number of recirculation events experienced by the cartridge; a maximum recirculation cycle parameter indicative of the maximum number of recirculation events that may be experienced by the cartridge.

Supply and mixing cartridges

An example printing material cartridge includes a reservoir storing printing material to supply a printing apparatus and a storage medium storing process instructions for controlling the recirculation process in the printing apparatus.

In an example, a data unit includes a mounting to removably mount the data unit on a receiving portion of an additive manufacturing build material container, a data source to provide data comprising a plurality of additive manufacturing parameters and a communications interface to communicate with a reader of an additive manufacturing build material processing apparatus. The communications interface is to transmit data from the data source to the additive manufacturing build material processing apparatus.

Data units for additive manufacturing

In an example, a data unit includes a data unit mounting having a circuitry region, a registration portion, and a retaining feature. Circuitry comprising a data source to provide at least one additive manufacturing parameter is arranged on the circuitry region of the mounting. The data unit mounting is to be removably mounted on a receiving portion of an additive manufacturing build material component, such that the registration portion is to be received in a corresponding guide portion of the receiving portion of the additive manufacturing build material component, and the retaining feature is prevent removal of the data unit from the receiving portion unless deformed. Deformation of the retaining feature to effect removal of the data unit from the receiving portion may be a permanent deformation.

Data units for build material identification in additive manufacturing

Examples associated with extensible markup language (XML) file condensing are described. On example includes generating a set of indexes from an XML file. The set of indexes may include a tag index that indexes tag terms used in the XML file, an attribute indexes attribute terms in the XML file, and a value index that indexes value terms in the XML file. The example also includes condensing the XML file into a condensed version of the XML file by translating the XML file according to the indexes. The example also includes generating a translated file. The translated file may be made from the set of indexes and the condensed version of the XML file.

XML file condensing

An example in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes an ink channel of a printer, coupleable to an ink supply to receive an ink. A sensor assembly is mounted to the ink channel, including a sensor in fluid communication with the ink channel to identify an ink level of the ink supply based on a pressure difference between an air pressure, associated with the sensor assembly, and an ink pressure, associated with the ink channel.
