Abstract: A fluid ejection system may include a fluid ejection head having a fluid ejection face through which fluid ejection orifices extend, a media supply to supply a medium for receiving fluid ejected through the fluid ejection orifices and a service station. The service station may include a substrate, an applicator to coat the substrate with a non-wetting layer having a controlled thickness and an actuator to move the substrate with the non-wetting layer into contact with the fluid ejection face without wiping the fluid ejection face.

Abstract: Ink-jet printing systems and methods of use for printing visible and invisible inks for subsequent development, which can produce text with associated highlighting or underlining that reduces messiness inherent in highlighting important text are disclosed. The ink-jet printing systems and methods of use can include a substrate, visible ink-jet ink configured to be ink-jetted onto at least a portion of the substrate to form a first visible image, a first invisible composition configured to be ink-jetted onto at least a portion of the substrate to form an invisible image visibly associated with the first visible image, and a second invisible composition configured for over-striking at least a portion of the invisible image. The first and second invisible compositions can be further configured to react and form a second visible image on the substrate.

Abstract: A battery is made by drop on demand printing a first electrode pattern and a second electrode pattern, and applying an electrolyte region over a portion of the first electrode pattern and a portion of the second electrode pattern.

Abstract: Selected portions of the orifice plate surfaces are formed to have wetting and non-wetting surface characteristics for minimizing the accumulation of residual ink on the outer surface of the plate and for enhancing the flow of supply ink to the orifices of the plate.
