Abstract
A method for operating a printer can include placing a first print material into a supply reservoir of the printer. The method also includes placing a second print material into the supply reservoir to combine with the first print material to form a diluted print material. The method also includes causing the diluted print material to exit the supply reservoir. Another method for operating a printer includes adding a first print material having a first melting point to a supply reservoir at a first rate. The method also includes adding a second print material having a second melting point to a supply reservoir at a second rate. The method for operating a printer also includes allowing the first print material and the second print material to combine to form a diluted print material. A printing system is also disclosed.
