Abstract
An aqueous-based UV-curable fluid composition for use in a micro-fluid ejection device. The fluid composition includes a mixture of poly-functional compounds, a colorant compound, a photo-initiator and less than about 50 weight percent water based on a total weight of the fluid composition, wherein the fluid composition is substantially devoid of volatile organic carrier fluids.
Claims15
A thermal micro-fluid ejection head for depositing a UV-curable fluid on a substrate, comprising an ejection head having a fire pulse that provides nucleation of the fluid within about 600 to about 1000 microseconds.
