Abstract:
The present invention contains a printing apparatus and a method, e.g., for ejecting inks (i.e., pure liquids, mixtures, colloids, etc.) for a very broad range of physical properties (such as viscosity). Acoustic forces  3 a  may be generated by an emitter  1  and a reflector  2  to detach droplets  10  from a nozzle  6.  The ink may be advanced through the nozzle  6  by a standard back pressure system  5.  A reflectorless chamber  7  may enhance acoustic forces  8 a  and the droplets  10  may be ejected at a bottom  9  of said chamber  7,  so that droplets  10  may be deposited on any substrate  11.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein the nozzle has a nozzle opening positioned in opposition to a printing substrate, and\n wherein, upon detachment of the pendant droplet from the nozzle opening, the second fluid is deposited onto the printing substrate as a printed droplet.
