Abstract
An apparatus for controlling application of a substance to a substrate involves the use of a gating agent that blocks the substance from or attracts the substance to the substrate. The apparatus may utilize ink jet technology to apply the gating agent directly to the substrate or to an intermediate surface. The gating agent includes a nonionic surfactant, and water. The gating agent does not contain a discernable amount of dye, pigment or other colorant agent.
