Zusammenfassung:A fluid dispensing method, the method comprising steps of: providing a system comprising a reservoir, a micro-fluidic thermal inkjet print head in fluid communication with the reservoir, a controller and a power source in electrical communication with the controller and the print head, the reservoir containing a fluid, the micro-fluidic thermal inkjet print head comprising nozzles; heating the fluid in the microfluidic device to a temperature of about 40 C to 75 C in less than about 1000 ms; activating the print head to fire the nozzles about 200 fires/nozzle at a first frequency; subsequent to step c, activating the print head to fire the nozzles at a second frequency, the second frequency substantially less than the first frequency; and subsequent to step d, activating the print head to fire the nozzles at a third frequency substantially greater than the first frequency.
