From droplet formation to final applications this practical book presents the subject in a
comprehensive and clear form using only content derived from the latest published results.
Starting at the very beginning the topic of fluid mechanics is explained allowing for a
suitable regime for printing inks to subsequently be selected. There then follows a discussion
on different print-head types and how to form droplets covering the behavior of droplets in
flight and upon impact with the substrate as well as the droplet's wetting and drying behavior
at the substrate. Commonly observed effects such as the coffee ring effect are included as
well as printing in the third dimension. The book concludes with a look at what the future
holds. As a unique feature worked examples both at the practical and simulation level as well
as case studies are included. As a result students and engineers in R&D will come to fully
understand the complete process of inkjet printing.
