Abstract
An example printer includes an actuator selection engine. The actuator selection engine is to determine, for an array including a plurality of fluidic actuators, which fluidic actuators to fire. The printer also includes a balancing engine. The balancing engine is to analyze the determined fluidic actuators to identify a large set of fluidic actuators scheduled to fire substantially simultaneously. The balancing engine is also to schedule the large set of fluidic actuators among a plurality of fire pulse groups. Each fire pulse group may include a subset of the large set of fluidic actuators to be fired at a time distinct from another subset.
