A method of printing includes, applying to an intermediate transfer member (ITM) (), one or more fluids that include at least a printing fluid for forming an image on the ITM (). At least part of the image is transferred from the ITM () to a target substrate (). Residues of the one or more fluids that were not transferred to the target substrate () and remained on the ITM (), are transferred from the ITM () to one or more rotatable elements (), and the residues are removed from the one or more rotatable elements ().

Printing method and system

A MEMS apparatus for scanning an optical beam comprises a mirror operative to perform a rotational motion to a maximum rotation angle around a mirror rotation axis formed in a double active layer silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. The apparatus may include a bouncing mechanism operative to provide a bouncing event and to reverse the rotational motion. The bouncing event provides the mirror with a piecewise linear response to actuation by intrinsically nonlinear electrostatic forces. In a particular embodiment, the bouncing mechanism includes a vertical comb drive stator built in the same active layer of the double active layer SOI substrate, while actuator comb drive stators are built in a different active layer.
