Complex impedance detection

Abstract

A printhead may include a nozzle, a firing chamber fluidly coupled to the nozzle, a printing fluid slot fluidly coupled to the firing chamber, and a sensor to detect a plurality of complex impedance values of a printing fluid at the printhead over a plurality of frequencies and create a printing fluid signature of the printing fluid. A method of determining at least one characteristic of a printing fluid provided to a printhead ma include, with a number of sensors, applying an alternating current at a plurality of frequencies over time to the printing fluid to receive a plurality of complex impedance values and comparing the plurality of complex impedance signals to a number of stored signals.
