Inkjet Mask Anomalies for Microfluidic Devices

The utilization of inkjet masks with UV light on a photoresistive material can be a cost-effective method for the generation of microfluidic devices for research and/or demonstration. The multicomponent combinations of various colors utilized in inks can lead to anomalies in the generation of the device. These anomalies are demonstrated for various UV exposures with a 365 nm source and possible solutions are discussed.
