1. A method of processing of a substrate, the method comprising:
depositing organic material from a printhead of an inkjet printer onto a substrate positioned on a substrate support in a gas enclosure that houses a printing system comprising the printhead;
while depositing the organic material:
flowing a gas within the gas enclosure past the printhead and through a first housing located in the gas enclosure, the first housing containing the printhead;
flowing the gas through a second housing located in the gas enclosure, the second housing containing a service bundle operably coupled to the printing system, wherein the substrate support is located outside the first housing; and
filtering particulate matter from the gas after the gas flows through the second housing.
