Claim 9:
10. A method for forming a film on a substrate, the method comprising:
floating a substrate on a flotation system in a substrate-printing region having an inert gas environment comprising nitrogen gas, the flotation system comprising at least one gas inlet port and at least one gas outlet port; and
while floating the substrate in the substrate-printing region:
moving the substrate in a first direction and moving at least one print-head in a second direction, the first and second directions being substantially orthogonal to each other,
controlling a float height of the substrate using gas flow through the at least one gas inlet port and the at least one gas outlet port, the gas flow comprising an inert gas,
detecting a misalignment of the substrate in the first direction and in the second direction,
printing a material on a surface of the substrate using the at least one print-head having at least one nozzle, and
using the detected misalignment to control printing the material on the surface of the substrate.
