Abstract
A method of printing from an inkjet nozzle device having a thermal actuator. The method includes the steps of supplying a fluid to the inkjet nozzle device, the fluid comprising an acetylenic compound; and repeatedly actuating the thermal actuator so as to eject fluid droplets from a nozzle opening of the inkjet nozzle device. The acetylenic compound is present in an amount sufficient to increase the lifetime of the inkjet nozzle device.
