Zusammenfassung:A print agent filtration apparatus is disclosed. The filtration apparatus is to remove non-liquid contaminant from liquid carrier. The apparatus comprises an electrode having a first surface, wherein the electrode is to generate an electric field towards liquid carrier containing non-liquid contaminant. The apparatus further comprises a second surface to accumulate non-liquid contaminant removed from the liquid carrier, the second surface being formed at least in part from a ceramic and movable relative to the first surface. A gap between the first surface and the second surface is substantially constant over the extent of the first surface. The first surface and the second surface define a passage therebetween through which the liquid carrier may pass. An electric field formed between the first surface and the second surface is to act on the liquid carrier, to thereby cause non-liquid contaminant to adhere to the second surface. A method and a print apparatus are also disclosed.
