A comprehensive study on the interactions of a single ink jet drop impacting on well-characterized surfaces at room temperature were studied. The effects of several parameters (kinetic energy, solid-liquid interactions, and energy dissipation) on spreading and retracting were investigated. Textile-like rough surfaces were compared with flat surfaces, and the effect of impact position on the rough surface was also investigated.
