Abstract

Inkjet printing systems are provided that use a cross-module airflow to limit condensation between a printing module and a receiver and that supply a co-linear flow of air that flows along with ink droplets toward a receiver. An integration area is created between the inkjet printhead heads, the receiver and a barrier to allow co-linear flow and cross-module flow to integrate and flow from between the printing module and the receiver without disrupting travel paths of the ink droplets.
