Abstract

The kinetics of spreading of inkjet drops on substrates is a key factor in determining the rate of printing and its quality. The mechanisms and fundamental aspects of spreading on non-absorbing substrates and in paper are presented. Semiempirical correlations are shown to be useful in describing the kinetics. Implications to studying inkjet formulations are demonstrated.
