Claim 0:
1. A method for forming a film on a substrate, the method comprising:
floating a substrate on a flotation system in an isolated substrate-printing region having an inert gas environment, 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,
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; and
using the detected misalignment to control printing the material on the surface of the substrate.
