Abstract
An electrohydrodynamic printing system includes a nozzle that dispenses a printing fluid and a substrate support. The nozzle includes a conductive portion. A voltage source applies a voltage differential between the conductive portion of the nozzle and the substrate support. A controller is configured to provide a burst mode waveform to the voltage source such that a drop of the printing fluid is caused to form from the conductive nozzle and travel toward the substrate support.
