IMI Europe Inkjet Winter Workshop 2025

Inkjet Ink Characterisation
Viscosity, dispersions, jetting & surfaces

Development of high quality inks and fluids for inkjet applications requires state-of-the-art characterisation equipment and techniques. From fundamental ink properties such as viscosity and surface tension, which have a crucial impact on jetting performance, through analysis of particulates dispersed within the ink, understanding these properties is key to getting the best out of an ink development project. In addition, it is vital to understand how the developed ink actually behaves, both on ejection from the printhead and when landing onto the substrate of choice. 

Topics of talk at workshop on January 29, 2025:

Basic property measurements - surface tension (Dr. Thomas Willers, KRÜSS)
