An initial page spit is caused to occur at the printhead prior to the printing engine causing printing of an initial page of the print job. A between-pages spit is caused to occur at the printhead between printing of pages of the print job. Responsive to a determination that a predetermined period between printing of a page and a consecutive page of the print job has been exceeded, a gap spit is caused to occur at the printhead in lieu of a between-pages spit.
