Abstract
An aqueous inkjet printer is configured to reduce condensation of vapor on printhead faces. The printer includes air directing members between adjacent printheads in a process direction and an air mover pneumatically connected to the air directing members. The air mover is operated selectively to remove vapor in the air between adjacent printheads as an ink image is formed on an image receiving surface moves past the adjacent printheads.
