Your inkjet printer boils ink into tiny droplets
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Your unreliable home printer is actually executing thousands of microscopic explosions per second. To get ink onto the page, thermal inkjet heads rapidly heat tiny resistors inside the nozzles, instantly vaporizing the liquid ink into a bubble. The sudden pressure violently vomits a microscopic droplet onto your paper before collapsing and sucking more ink into the chamber for the next blast.
One discovery leads to another.
