Abstract
In an example, a method includes providing a build material. Print agent comprising colorant may be applied to a first portion of the build material to be fused in additive manufacturing, wherein the print agent is applied according to a target color for the first portion. A combination of a fusion inhibiting agent and colorant may be applied to a second portion of the build material, wherein the print agent is applied according to the target color of the first portion and the second portion is adjacent to the first portion. The method may further include heating the build material by exposing the build material to radiation so as to cause fusing of the first portion.
