Problem of Ink Evaporation while Using Plotter Systems to Manufacture Printed Electronic Products

We give a description of ink-jet and plotter technologies used in the manufacture of printed electronic products, including the advantages and drawbacks of these technologies. We discuss the problem of ink evaporation common to plotter printing systems. We present theoretical and experimental dependence of thinner evaporation rate on the position in capillary. We offer a configuration and operation algorithm of a plotter system which allows reduced effects of ink evaporation.
