Abstract
In various examples, biased print gaskets can include a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to charge a material included in a gasket with a first bias voltage to repel print particles from a surface of the gasket, cease charging the material with the first bias voltage and charge the material with a second bias to attract print particles to a surface of the gasket.
Claims15
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to:
- charge a material included in a gasket with a first bias voltage to repel print particles from a surface of the gasket;
- cease charging the material with the first bias voltage;
- and
- charge the material with a second bias to attract print particles to a surface of the gasket.
1 more element
A container comprising:
- a housing defining a volume and an opening;
- a gasket including a material capable of holding an electric charge, wherein the gasket is disposed in the opening;
- print particles disposed in the volume;
- and
- a dedicated electrical contact coupled to the gasket, wherein the dedicated electrical contact is to couple to a power supply and, when coupled to the power supply, provide a bias voltage to the gasket to selectively attract or repel the print particles respective to the gasket.

A printing device comprising:
- a housing defining a receptacle having internal volume;
- a gasket including a material capable of holding an electric charge, wherein the gasket is disposed in the receptacle;
- a power supply coupled to the gasket;
- and
- a controller to provide a bias voltage to the gasket to selectively attract or repel print particles, when present in the receptacle, with respective to the gasket.
