Inkjet print cartridge having an adhesive with improved dimensional control

A method for manufacturing an inkjet print cartridge comprising the steps of:

• applying an adhesive onto at least a portion of a component of an inkjet print cartridge at an application temperature, Ta, by providing a compliant stencil having at least one aperture, aligning the stencil with a specific position on the component such that the at least one aperture aligns with the portion of the component to which the adhesive is to be applied, and depositing the adhesive on the stencil, wherein the adhesive is delivered through the at least one aperture onto the portion of the component;
• and
• heating the adhesive from an initial temperature, T1, to a cure temperature for the adhesive, Tc;
• wherein the adhesive has a rheology cure profile characterized by at least one of the following parameters:
• a) rheology viscosity ratio ηi/ηmin of from 1.0 to less than 2.1,
• b) temperature of the adhesive is approximately equal to a minimum viscosity temperature for the adhesive, Tηmin, within less than about 10 minutes from the start of the cure cycle, and
• c) viscosity of the adhesive increases within less than about 5 minutes from the start of the cure cycle.

A method for manufacturing an inkjet print cartridge comprising the steps of:

• providing an inkjet print cartridge having an adhesive receiving portion;
• providing a stencil having an aperature;
• aligning the stencil with a position on the inkjet print cartridge so that the aperature is aligned with the adhesive receiving portion of the inkjet print cartridge;
• and
• depositing an adhesive through the aperature of the stencil so that at least some of the adhesive is applied to the adhesive receiving portion of the inkjet print cartridge.
