Abstract
A microfluidic inkjet control method, by adjusting the driving waveform of the print head, including intercooling waveform and pre-heating waveform, to reduce the satellite droplets produced accompany the main ink droplets during the inkjet printing process. After entering the parameters, the control method uses a print head module with nozzles with adjustable rotating angle and calculates the needed nozzle sequence and appropriate time delay to control the print head module and determine the operation of each nozzle. This achieves the goal of printing different types of elements.
