An inkjet printer operates to produce a print with at least one component operating at less than a normal operating parameter. The general operation and quick-response requirements of these pilot-valve actuator assemblies can suffer from shortcomings that degrade the control system’s overall performance. The aqueous polyurethane primer comprises less than about 10 weight percent of polyurethane and less than about 30 weight percent 2-butoxyethhanol with the remainder being deionized water. The optical device can also include a mechanism for controlling the portion of the reflector which is shadowed by the absorptive fluid. Control circuitry provides either a fixed or proportional temperature differential between the ironing board and the connected iron. Characteristics of a specific integrated circuit are used to adaptively control power of the integrated circuit.
