Abstract
Ink jet printing is the only true primary non-impact printing process whereby a liquid ink is squirted through very fine nozzles and the resultant ink droplets form an image directly on the substrate (Gregory, 1991). In the main competing technologies of electrophotography (photocopying and laser printing) and thermal transfer printing, further components and steps are required to form the image, namely a photoconductor drum or belt and a transfer ribbon, respectively.
